Usage Limits

Paid plans include generous monthly and daily limits for AI features. This page explains how those limits work and what to do if you hit them.

What’s Counted

Resource	Unit	What Uses It
AI messages	Per message	Every response Atlas generates in chat
STT minutes	Minutes of audio	Voice input transcriptions via Whisper
TTS characters	Characters of text	Spoken responses from Atlas

When Limits Reset

Resource	Reset Schedule
AI messages	Every day at midnight UTC
STT minutes	Monthly, at the start of your billing period
TTS characters	Monthly, at the start of your billing period

If you subscribe on the 15th of the month, your monthly resources reset on the 15th each month. Daily messages always reset at midnight UTC regardless of when you subscribed.

Limits by Plan

Plan	Messages/day	STT/month	TTS chars/month
Free	—	—	—
Trial	100	30 min	50,000 chars
Talk	500	60 min	100,000 chars
Walk & Talk	500	60 min	100,000 chars

To understand how much TTS you get: 100,000 characters is roughly 10–15 hours of spoken text at a typical reading pace.

What Happens When You Hit a Limit

When you reach a daily or monthly limit, that specific feature becomes unavailable until the limit resets. The rest of Atlas keeps working normally.

• Hit message limit: You can still use all local features, search, CRM, plugins, and everything else. AI chat is paused until midnight UTC when the daily counter resets.
• Hit STT limit: Voice input (speech-to-text) is paused for the rest of the billing period. You can still type messages and use all other features.
• Hit TTS limit: Atlas stops speaking responses for the rest of the billing period. Text responses still appear normally in chat.

Atlas will show a clear message when a limit is reached, so you always know why a feature is temporarily unavailable.

Checking Your Usage

Go to Settings > Account to see progress bars for each resource:

• Green: Plenty of capacity remaining
• Yellow: Getting close to the limit
• Red: At or near the limit

The bars show your usage for the current period next to the total included in your plan.

Tip

If you’re hitting the message limit regularly, consider whether you’re using Atlas for tasks that could be batched. Long back-and-forth conversations use one message per exchange — consolidating your questions can stretch your daily limit further. If you consistently need more, upgrading to Talk gives you 5x the daily messages compared to the trial.

Overages

Atlas does not charge overage fees. When you hit a limit, the feature simply pauses until the limit resets. There are no surprise charges.
