Overview
Every Search Atlas plan includes a set of monthly quotas that reset at the start of your billing cycle. This article explains what to expect from your Starter plan — including AI credits, article generation limits, and Write With AI usage — so you always know where you stand.
Starter Plan Quota Limits
The Starter plan includes monthly allocations for the following categories:
- Full Article Generations: A monthly limit on the number of complete long-form article drafts you can generate via the Content Planner or AI Writer.
- Write With AI Actions: Actions such as generating paragraphs, outlines, and individual sections are drawn from your shared AI credit pool. Each action consumes credits based on the length and complexity of the content generated.
- AI Credits: A shared monthly pool of AI credits used across all AI-powered features, including Write With AI, outline generation, and other in-editor AI actions.
To confirm your exact current quota limits and remaining allocations, please contact our support team, as specific quota figures vary and are best confirmed directly for your account.
How Write With AI and Article Generation Affect Your Quotas
AI-powered features such as Write With AI and full article generation draw from your plan's shared AI credit pool. Each action you take — such as generating a paragraph, an outline, or a full article draft — consumes a portion of your monthly credits. Full article generations also count against your separate monthly article generation limit and are tracked independently from your AI credit balance.
To avoid unexpected quota exhaustion, monitor your usage regularly by navigating to Avatar → Billing → Plans & Top-ups (Billing). If you see a quota warning or an error indicating you have reached your limit, you will need to either wait for your billing cycle to reset or upgrade to a higher-tier plan for increased allocations.
When Quotas Reset
Your monthly quotas reset at the start of each billing cycle. If you are consistently reaching your limits before the end of the month, you can upgrade your plan from within your account settings to access higher article generation and AI credit allocations.
