Usage limit best practices

Your usage covers real AI work: every check, audit and Optimization Plan runs your product through four AI engines, so it is worth spending where it counts. A few habits make a plan go a lot further.

Start with your free first product

Your first product's check and audit are free on every plan, so use them to learn how the app works and what a strong or weak result looks like before you spend any usage. Pick a product that matters, so the free run teaches you something you can act on.

Check your priority products first

You have a monthly budget, not unlimited runs, so spend it on the products that earn their place: your bestsellers, your highest-margin lines, the ones you most want AI to recommend. Checking every product at once burns through a plan quickly and buries the results that matter; a short, deliberate list tells you more.

Check the locations you actually sell in

When you run a check, you choose a location: the country or market you want results for. The app then asks the AI engines your "where to buy" questions as a shopper in that place, because the stores AI recommends to a shopper in the UAE are not the same as the ones it recommends in the UK. Each location is a separate check that uses usage.

So check the locations where you actually sell and ship. Running a check for a country you do not serve spends usage on answers you cannot act on. Start with the locations that make you money, and add others once you know what they show.

Read the audit before you generate fixes

Your audit tells you what is wrong; the Optimization Plan, which spends usage, tells you how to fix it. So read the audit first, decide which findings are worth acting on, and generate the plan for those rather than for every criterion. Fixing the few things that move your score beats a plan for things that were already fine.

Re-check only after you have changed something

A check is a snapshot of what AI says today, and it does not change minute to minute. Running it again right away spends usage to see the same answer. Make your changes, give the AI engines time to pick them up, then re-check to measure the difference. That way each re-check earns its cost by showing you real movement.

Watch the Usage screen

Open the Usage screen now and then to see how much of your monthly budget you have spent and when it resets. The app also warns you at about 90%, on both the Usage and Home screens, so you have room to plan rather than being stopped mid-task. Knowing where you stand is what lets you spend the rest deliberately.

When you are close to your limit

If you are running low and still have work to do, you have three choices: move up to a plan with more monthly usage, buy extra credit that works now and never expires, or wait for your usage to reset at the start of your next cycle. Which one fits depends on whether this is a busy month or your new normal.
