What Happens When You Hit a Limit
Monitor Limit
When you try to create a monitor beyond your plan's limit, PulseAPI shows an error. Existing monitors continue working normally — only new monitors are blocked. To add more monitors, upgrade your plan or delete monitors you no longer need.
Team Member Limit
When you try to invite a member beyond your plan's limit, the invitation fails with an error. Existing members are not affected. Upgrade your plan to invite more people.
Check Interval Limit
The monitor creation form only shows interval options available on your plan. For example, on a Free or Starter plan, the minimum interval is 60 seconds. If you need faster checks (15s or 5s), you'll need to upgrade.
Check History Retention
Checks older than your plan's retention period are automatically deleted. If you're on the Free plan, check history beyond 7 days is not stored. Upgrading your plan does not restore deleted historical data — it only extends future retention.
Pulse AI Limit
On Starter and Professional plans, Pulse AI analyses are rate-limited per day and per month. When you reach the daily limit, the Analyze button on incident pages is disabled until the next day. On the Free plan, Pulse AI is locked entirely.
Where Limits Appear in the App
- Monitors list — a banner appears at the top when you're at or near your monitor limit
- Invite member form — an error shows if you exceed the member limit
- Monitor creation form — interval options are restricted to what your plan allows
- Incident detail page — the Pulse AI Analyze button shows your remaining daily quota (Starter/Professional)
- Settings → Billing — shows your current plan and usage for all metered limits
Upgrading Your Plan
You can upgrade at any time from the pricing page or from Settings → Billing in the app. Upgraded limits take effect immediately.
See Upgrading Your Plan for step-by-step instructions.
