You were using the service normally.
Then certain features stopped working.
Uploads fail.
Exports are disabled.
Buttons still exist, but nothing happens.
You can still log in.
Your account looks active.
This is not a system error or a suspension.
You’ve likely reached the free usage limit.
What Happens When the Free Limit Is Reached
- The free plan has a hidden or visible usage cap
- Credits, actions, or requests are fully consumed
- The service switches to restricted mode instead of blocking access
- Only high-cost actions are locked (export, upload, send, generate)
This is common across AI tools, cloud services, and online platforms.
How to Confirm It’s a Free Limit (Not a Bug)
- Look for terms like limit, quota, credits, or usage
- Check your account or plan page for usage counters
- Notice that login works but specific actions are blocked
- See if access mentions a reset date or billing upgrade
If only certain features stop working, it’s almost always a quota issue.
What You Can Do Before Paying
- Wait for the daily or monthly reset
- Reduce high-cost actions (large files, bulk actions, HD exports)
- Switch workflows (share links instead of downloads)
- Check if usage resets by time, not by logout
Do not upgrade until you confirm the reset window.
Many users pay unnecessarily when the limit resets within hours.
