# Plan usage and limits

The **Plan Usage** page shows, for each limit of your plan, how much you've used and how much is left. Monthly
allowances start again at the date shown next to **Resets**.

**You need:** the **Admin** or **Manage Billing** right. Other members see "Ask your team administrator to view
plan usage."

## Check your usage

1. In the sidebar, under **Account**, click **Plan Usage**. You can also click **See Plan Usage** on the
   **Subscription** page.
2. Each card shows what you've used against your limit, a percentage, and how many remain. **Monthly** marks the
   allowances that reset each period.
3. The chip at the top, **Resets** followed by a date, is when the monthly allowances start again. Click the round
   arrow next to it to refresh the numbers.

A card warns **Nearing your limit** at 80% and **Limit reached** at 100%.

## When does my monthly usage reset?

| Your plan | Monthly allowances reset |
| --- | --- |
| Monthly subscription | On your renewal date, at the start of each billing period |
| Yearly subscription, Lifetime Deal or Free plan | Every 4 weeks (28 days), counted from your last payment, or from when the team was created if it never paid |

Sub teams follow the period of the team that pays for them. The exact date is always on **Plan Usage**, next to
**Resets**.

## What counts toward each limit

| Limit | What counts | Monthly |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Channels** | Channels connected to the team | No |
| **Scheduled Posts** | Posts published during the period | Yes |
| **Team Members** | People in the team, you included | No |
| **Media** | Files in the team's **Media** | No |
| **Automations** | Automations set up in the team | No |
| **AI Credits** | Runs of AI post idea generation | Yes |
| **Generated Faceless Videos** | Faceless videos finished | Yes |
| **Captioned Videos** | Videos captioned successfully | Yes |
| **Long to Shorts Videos** | Long-to-shorts videos finished | Yes |

A scheduled post counts once it's published, one per channel: a post sent to three channels counts three times.
Drafts, posts still waiting in the queue and failed posts don't count. X posts also use X credits, which work
separately. See [X credits](https://dash.robopost.app/docs/posts/x-credits.md).

The numbers for each plan are on [Plans and billing](https://dash.robopost.app/docs/account/plans-and-billing.md).

## What happens when I reach a limit?

- **When you add something over a limit**, such as a channel, a file or a team member, Robopost shows
  **Plan Limit Hit**, or a message with your limit and your current count. Outside sub teams, **Upgrade my plan**
  takes you to the plans.
- **When your monthly Scheduled Posts run out**, posts that come due aren't published. Each one fails with a message
  that you've reached your usage limit, and the team gets a "Usage Limit Reached" email, at most once a day.
  Reschedule those posts after the reset or after you upgrade. See
  [Why did my post fail?](https://dash.robopost.app/docs/posts/why-did-my-post-fail.md)
- **When a monthly video allowance runs out**, you can't generate more of that kind of video until the reset. For
  faceless videos, purchased credits keep you going (see below).

Posting and scheduling are also disabled, with **Account frozen** or a similar message, when the free trial has
ended, a payment failed or the subscription is inactive.

## Buy extra video credits

1. On **Plan Usage**, find the **Generated Faceless Videos** card and click **Buy Credits**.
2. In **Buy Faceless Video Credits**, choose **Buy 10 Credits** or **Buy 200 Credits** and pay on Stripe's checkout
   page.

Purchased credits carry over from one period to the next. The card shows them as "Includes … unused purchased
credits, which carry over." You can buy credits only from the team that pays for the plan, not from a sub team.

## Usage in sub teams

On the team that pays, **Plan Usage** covers that team and all its sub teams ("All account teams"). Channels,
members, media and automations are counted per team; monthly allowances are one shared pool.

In a sub team, **Plan Usage** shows that team's own usage against the limits set for it. When the shared pool runs
low, the card says how much is left in it. See
[Set usage limits for a sub team](https://dash.robopost.app/docs/account/brands-and-sub-teams.md#set-usage-limits-for-a-sub-team).

## Are there file size limits?

Your plan limits how many files you keep in **Media** (5 on the Free plan, unlimited on paid plans), not how large
they are. Each network has its own limits on file size, dimensions and video length. See
[Media](https://dash.robopost.app/docs/posts/media.md).
