AI usage limits & your monthly budget
Most AI features draw on a monthly allowance tied to your plan. Here's how the budget works, how to see what's left, and what to do when you run low.
How the budget works
AI-powered actions (running a Product Validator verdict, generating a listing in Listing Studio, asking the Copilot a question, and similar) draw on a monthly allowance tied to your plan. Each plan includes a set amount of AI usage, and most limits are monthly: they reset on the 1st of each month (UTC).
Plans scale roughly like this. Free is a starter tier (for example, 2 validations and 1 AI listing per month), so you can try the product (it doesn't expire). Starter ($14) adds tracking and sourcing. Growth ($29) adds competitive intelligence and AI automation. Pro ($49) removes most monthly caps and includes the War Room, Business Health Score, and Reimbursement Scanner.
Checking what you've used
- Open Settings → Billing to see your current plan and what's included.
- Watch for the usage indicator on AI features. When you're close to a limit, LumaiScope shows how many runs you have left for the month.
- If an AI action is blocked, the message will tell you which limit you've hit. Limits reset on the 1st of each month (UTC).
Usage is tracked per calendar month and resets automatically. You don't need to do anything to get your allowance back at the start of the next month.
When you hit a limit
If you reach your monthly AI allowance, you have two options:
- Wait for the reset. Your limits refresh on the 1st of next month (UTC).
- Upgrade your plan to get a higher allowance immediately. For existing subscribers, upgrades happen in-app and Stripe pro-rates the difference on your next invoice. There's no second checkout.
An upgrade takes effect right away, so your higher AI allowance is available as soon as the change goes through.
Getting the most from your allowance
- Validate before you generate. Confirm a product is worth pursuing before spending an AI listing run on it.
- Re-use results. A verdict or listing you've already generated stays in your history; you don't need to re-run it to look at it again.
- Batch your research. Pull together the products you want to check, then run them in one sitting so you're not nibbling at the budget across the month.
- On higher plans, lean on automation features so the AI works on a schedule instead of being triggered ad hoc.
