Out of allowance

When you use up your allowance, you can keep building by refilling it, choosing or changing your plan, or waiting for it to reset.

What stops

When your allowance runs out, FlutterFlow saves your work, and the agent can’t start new work for you (except as described in Free first build):

  • Messages: When you send a message, start a new thread, or answer the agent, FlutterFlow keeps your draft in the message box instead of sending it and opens a dialog with your options.
  • Pushes: When you click Push to your app, FlutterFlow opens a dialog with your options instead of pushing. See Push.
  • The notice: A notice on the message box states that you used your allowance, when it resets, and what you can do.
  • The usage ring: On a wide screen, the usage ring in the upper-right corner changes color, and its summary says Allowance used.

How a turn wraps up

If your allowance runs out while the agent is in the middle of a turn, the turn doesn’t stop right away. The agent gets a short wrap-up, which doesn’t use your allowance. During the wrap-up, FlutterFlow tells the agent to start nothing new, to leave your app in a state that builds, and to end the turn with a short message that says what it finished and what’s left.

If the wrap-up runs out before the turn ends, the turn stops, and the thread shows “This stopped when your usage ran out.” See the entry for that message.

Keep building

To keep building after your allowance runs out:

  1. In the thread, find the notice on the box where you write.

  2. Click the button that the notice offers. Which button you see depends on your plan. On a wide screen, the notice shows:

    Your plan Button What it opens
    Free Choose a plan The plan picker. To choose a plan, see Change plan.
    Basic Upgrade to Pro The plan picker, with Pro suggested.
    Pro or Max, with refills left this month Refill usage The Refill your usage? dialog. A refill adds a week of your plan’s usage right away. For prices and limits, see Refill allowance.
    Pro, with all refills used this month Upgrade to Max The plan picker, with Max suggested.
    Max, with all refills used this month None Wait for the reset. See Wait for the reset.
    Any plan, after a payment didn’t complete Complete payment A place to update your card. See the entry for that notice.

    The notice also has View usage, which opens Plan & usage.

  3. Finish the refill or the plan change in the dialog that opens.

  4. Send your message again, or click Push to your app again. If the agent’s turn stopped, click Try again in the thread.

Wait for the reset

If you don’t want to refill or change your plan, wait for your allowance to reset. The notice and Plan & usage show when it resets. On Free, your allowance resets every week. On Basic, Pro, and Max, it resets every month.

After the reset, send your message or push again. If a turn stopped when your allowance ran out, click Try again in the thread.

“You’ve used this week’s allowance.”

What it means: You used your weekly allowance on Free. FlutterFlow saved your work, and the notice shows when your allowance resets.

Fix it:

  1. To keep building right away, click Choose a plan, and then choose a plan. See Change plan.
  2. Otherwise, wait for your allowance to reset, and then send your message again.

“You’ve used this month’s allowance.”

What it means: You used your monthly allowance on Basic, Pro, or Max. FlutterFlow saved your work, and the notice shows when your allowance resets. On Pro, when you’ve also used all 4 refills this month, the notice says so.

Fix it:

  1. Click the button that the notice offers:
    • On Basic, click Upgrade to Pro.
    • On Pro or Max, click Refill usage, and then confirm the refill. See Refill allowance.
    • On Pro, with all refills used, click Upgrade to Max.
  2. Otherwise, wait for your allowance to reset, and then send your message again.

“You’ve reached your usage limit.”

What it means: You used your allowance, and you can’t buy more right now. For example, you’re on Max, and you’ve used this month’s allowance and all of its refills. FlutterFlow saved your work.

Fix it: Wait for your allowance to reset, and then send your message again. To see when it resets, click View usage.

“Your payment needs attention.”

What it means: A payment for your plan didn’t complete, so you’re on Free until it does, and you used this week’s Free allowance. Your bank might need you to confirm the payment, or you might need to use another card.

Fix it: On the notice, click Complete payment, and then update your card.

See Troubleshoot your account and plan.

“This stopped when your usage ran out.”

What it means: The agent’s turn stopped because your allowance ran out. The same message appears if your allowance is paused. For a paused allowance, see Troubleshoot your account and plan.

Fix it:

  1. Refill your allowance, change your plan, or wait for the reset. See Keep building.
  2. When you have allowance again, Try again appears in the thread. Click it.
