# Usage Limits

> Understand soft limits, daily limits, and what happens when you hit them.

Pixelcut may apply limits to keep the service reliable and fair (especially for compute-heavy AI generation).

## Common types of limits

* **Credits**: used for certain AI actions (varies by tool and plan)
* **Daily limits**: some actions may reset each day
* **Soft limits**: temporary slowdowns or reduced throughput during heavy usage

## Common messages you might see

* **Insufficient credits**: add credits or switch to a lower-cost model/settings
* **Quota exceeded**: wait for the reset window or upgrade for higher limits

## What to do when you hit a limit

1. Check your remaining credits (if applicable)
2. Retry later if it’s a temporary/soft limit
3. Upgrade your plan if you consistently need higher throughput
