How usage limits work.
Both Free and Pro have monthly usage limits. Pro gives you a larger allowance, with one shared budget for save analysis, Ask Orbb, Plans, and Picks.
What your plan includes
Pro: a shared monthly AI allowance. Monthly and yearly Pro include the same allowance. Usage depends on the processing needed, so a short question and a longer analysis may use different amounts.
Free: a small monthly trial allowance. Save analysis, Ask Orbb, Plans, and Picks share this allowance.
Included cloud storage: Free includes 250 MB and Pro includes 5 GB. This is total storage capacity shared across your saved files; it does not reset each month. Monthly and yearly Pro include the same 5 GB capacity.
What counts toward usage?
- Save analysis: processing a bookmark with AI.
- Ask Orbb: asking a question, including follow-up messages.
- Plans: generating a plan from your saves.
- Picks: creating a pick.
Requested cloud AI processing shares the same monthly allowance. Basic saving and browsing your existing library do not use it. Internal recovery attempts do not add to your usage. Pro does not include unlimited AI processing.
When does it reset?
Pro allowances reset when your subscription renews. Monthly Pro resets on each renewal date, and yearly Pro refreshes monthly on the same day of the month as your renewal. The Free allowance resets on the first of each calendar month at midnight UTC. Ask Orbb uses this monthly allowance too. Settings → Usage in the app shows your exact reset date.
What happens at the limit?
Further metered actions are limited until the next reset. Bookmarks may be saved with basic metadata when AI analysis is unavailable. Your existing library stays available.
Free users can upgrade to Pro for a higher monthly allowance. Pro users need to wait for the next reset once their allowance is used.
