AI limits
Account-wide monthly AI and scan allowances, when they renew, what counts or not, and concurrency.
AI features and grid scans are subject to monthly usage allowances. The key rule: the monthly allowance is one pool per account — it equals the admin's per-business monthly value × your plan's business count, and you can spend it on whichever business you like, on any day.
Monthly allowances
The table below is live — it shows the current values from the admin panel. A disabled module's row is not shown here at all.
| Feature (per business) | Paid (monthly) | Trial (total for the trial) |
|---|---|---|
AI messages (ai_requests) | 600 | 10 |
Post/offer copy (post_content) | 210 | 10 |
Auto review reply (auto_review_reply) | 1200 | 15 |
Grid scan (grid_scan) | 210 | 5 |
The values are set from the admin panel via the ai_limits (paid) and trial_limits (trial) settings; this table mirrors them exactly (the same source as the "AI limits" tab in Settings).
When allowances renew
- Allowances renew every month on the day your subscription started. On a monthly plan, that's your billing date.
- On a yearly plan, you also get a fresh allowance every month of the year.
- During the free trial, the trial limits are the total for the whole trial; they don't renew within the trial. Once the account becomes paying, the full monthly allowances start.
What counts, what doesn't
- Chat (Ghost AI), AI drafts, descriptions, suggestions, and insight calls all count from the
ai_requestspool. - AI auto review replies and AI post copy count from their own pools.
- Grid scans count from their own separate pool; periodic scans and the automatic first scan draw from it too. Both successes and errors count (prevents abuse).
- Rank tracking is the exception: it stays daily, and its value is also the per-business keyword cap.
- Citation scanning does NOT consume the AI quota — it uses no LLM, reads structured data from DataForSEO, and is triggered by the scheduler, not the user.
Concurrency
To prevent quota desync there's a lock of at most 3 simultaneous AI operations / 5 seconds; if exceeded, a short wait is requested.
