AI Limits & Billing

Understanding AI request limits and BYOK bypass

AI Usage Limits

Note: Why AI might stop working for a user.

🚦 Limit Tiers

  • AppSumo Tier 1/2: 0 AI Requests (Feature Gated).
  • AppSumo Tier 3: 50 requests/month.
  • Individual: 200 requests/month.

🔓 The BYOK Bypass (Unlimited)

If a user provides their own API Key ("Bring Your Own Key") in Account Settings, they bypass ALL system limits. They pay OpenAI/Google directly.

🛑 Enforcement Logic

  • Real-Time: Checks usage before every request.
  • Lag: Usage tracking aggregation runs nightly, so there is a slight (24h) grace period where users might exceed limits before being blocked the next day.

📧 Notifications

  • 80% Usage: Warning email sent.
  • 100% Usage: Block email sent (with upsell to BYOK).
