AI Usage & Limits

Your IDEQO plan includes limits on AI features like image generation, video generation, and text operations. This page shows you how to track your usage and understand what happens when you reach your limits.

Where to View Usage

Go to Billing & Usage (click your profile icon in the sidebar) to see your usage dashboard. You’ll see all your usage metrics in one place.

Understanding Usage Metrics

The usage dashboard shows several metrics:

AI Features

Image Generations - How many AI images you’ve created this month
Video Generations - How many AI videos you’ve created (coming soon)
Text Operations - How many AI text generations you’ve used

Other Features

Brand Kits - Number of brand kits you’ve created
Brand Voices - Number of brand voices you’ve set up
Integrations - Number of connected social media accounts
Team Members - Number of users on your team
Storage - Amount of storage used (in MB)
Products Synced - Total products synced from e-commerce stores

How Usage Works

Monthly Reset

Your AI usage resets every month. For example:

If your limit is 100 image generations per month
You use 50 in January
On February 1st, your count resets to 0
You can use 100 more in February

Unlimited Features

Some features show “Unlimited” (∞). This means there’s no limit on how much you can use.

Early Access

During Early Access, some AI features may show “Unlimited for now — limits will apply after launch.” This means you can use them without limits right now, but limits will be added later.

Reading Usage Cards

Each usage card shows:

Title - What the metric is (e.g., “Image Generations”)
Used / Max - How much you’ve used vs your limit (e.g., “45 / 100”)
Progress Bar - Visual indicator of how close you are to your limit
Status Badge - Shows if you’re within limits (green), approaching limits (yellow), or over limits (red)
Remaining - How much you have left (e.g., “55 left”)

Status Colors

Green - You’re using less than 80% of your limit
Yellow - You’re using 80% or more of your limit
Red - You’ve exceeded your limit

Usage Alerts

Approaching Limit Alert

When you’re using 80% or more of a limit, you’ll see a yellow alert:

Usage Alert
You’re approaching your plan limits. Consider upgrading to get more resources.

This is a warning that you’re getting close to your limit. You can still use the feature, but you might want to upgrade your plan.

Over Limit Alert

If you exceed a limit, you’ll see a red alert:

Usage Over Limit
Some usage already exceeds your plan limits. Please resolve overages to regain full access.

When you see this, you need to either:

Upgrade your plan to get higher limits
Remove some items (like team members or integrations) to get back under your limit

What Happens When You Reach a Limit

AI Image Generation

If you reach your image generation limit:

You’ll see an error message: “Image generation limit reached for your current plan”
You won’t be able to generate new images
You can upgrade your plan to continue generating images

AI Text Operations

If you reach your text operations limit:

AI text generation features will stop working
You’ll need to upgrade to continue using AI text features

Other Limits

For limits like team members, brand kits, or integrations:

You won’t be able to add more until you upgrade
You may need to remove existing items to get back under your limit

Refreshing Usage Data

Usage updates automatically, but you can manually refresh:

Go to Settings > Billing
Click the Refresh button in the Usage Analytics section
Your usage will update to show the latest numbers

Understanding Your Plan Limits

Different plans have different limits. To see your plan’s limits:

Go to Settings > Billing
Look at the Plan Limits section
This shows what your current plan includes

Common Limit Types

Finite Limits - A specific number (e.g., 100 image generations)
Unlimited - No limit (shown as ∞)
Early Access - Unlimited for now, limits coming later

Upgrading Your Plan

If you’re running out of usage:

Go to Settings > Billing
Click Manage Subscription or Upgrade Plan
Choose a plan with higher limits
Your new limits take effect immediately

Best Practices

Monitor Your Usage

Check your usage regularly, especially if you use AI features often
Watch for yellow alerts so you know when you’re getting close to limits
Plan ahead if you know you’ll need more usage

Use Features Wisely

Image Generation - Each image counts as one use, so generate only what you need
Text Operations - Each AI text generation counts, so review suggestions before regenerating
Storage - Delete unused files to free up storage space

Upgrade When Needed

If you consistently hit limits, consider upgrading
Higher plans often have better value if you use features regularly
Annual plans save money compared to monthly plans

Troubleshooting

Usage Not Updating

If your usage doesn’t seem to update:

Wait a few minutes (updates happen every 15 minutes)
Click the Refresh button
Check your internet connection

Wrong Usage Shown

If usage seems incorrect:

Refresh the page
Check if you’re looking at the right month (usage resets monthly)
Contact support if it still seems wrong

Can’t Use Feature Despite Having Usage

If you can’t use a feature but your usage shows you have space:

Make sure you’re not over other limits (like team members or integrations)
Check for any error messages
Try refreshing the page
Contact support if the issue continues
