🔍 What Is an AI Generation Quota?
Every Search Atlas plan includes a monthly AI generation quota — a set number of AI-powered outputs you can produce across tools such as the SEO Content Assistant, Meta Generator, AI Content Templates, and other content features. Once your quota is reached, AI generation is paused until your quota resets or your plan is upgraded.
📊 Where to Check Your Current Quota Usage
- Log in to your Search Atlas account.
- Click your avatar in the top-right corner.
- Select Billing (Billing) from the menu.
- Review the AI Generation usage bar to see how many credits you have used and how many remain for the current billing cycle.
⚙️ How Plan Tiers Affect Your Quota
Higher-tier plans come with significantly larger AI generation quotas, making them well suited for teams managing large-scale SEO workloads — such as completing thousands of pending optimizations. While exact quota limits per plan are updated regularly, the general structure is:
- Starter plans — designed for individuals and small sites with moderate content needs.
- Growth plans — suited for growing teams handling multiple projects and higher content volumes.
- Pro / Agency plans — built for agencies and enterprise users with high-volume AI generation requirements.
To see the most current quota allocations and pricing for each tier, visit the Pricing page from the main navigation or the Upgrade prompt within your account dashboard.
🛠️ How to Upgrade Your Plan
- Click your account name or avatar in the top-right corner of the platform.
- Select Billing or Upgrade Plan.
- Compare the available plans and their AI generation quotas.
- Select the plan that meets your volume requirements and click Upgrade.
- Complete the payment confirmation. Your new quota is applied immediately after the upgrade is processed.
💡 Tips for Completing a Large SEO Optimization Backlog
If you have a high volume of pending optimizations — for example, 2,000 or more SEO tasks — the following strategies will help you work efficiently within your quota:
- Prioritize by impact: Use the On-Page Audit tool (Left sidebar → Content → On-Page Audit) to sort pages by opportunity score and tackle high-value pages first.
- Use Content Planner for batching: Navigate to Left sidebar → Content → Content Planner to schedule and batch AI generation tasks across your billing period.
- Leverage AI Content Templates: Left sidebar → Content → AI Content Templates allows you to generate structured content at scale, reducing manual effort per page.
- Use Meta Generator in bulk: Left sidebar → Content → Meta Generator supports bulk meta title and description generation, which is ideal for clearing large metadata backlogs quickly.
- Upgrade before your cycle resets: Upgrading mid-cycle often unlocks the higher quota immediately, so you do not need to wait for the next billing period to continue.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Does unused quota roll over to the next month? No. AI generation quotas reset at the start of each billing cycle and unused credits do not carry forward.
Can I purchase a one-time quota top-up without upgrading my plan? Plan availability varies. Check your Billing settings or the Upgrade page to see if add-on credit packs are available for your current plan.
Will upgrading my plan immediately unlock more AI credits? Yes. In most cases your new quota is activated as soon as the plan upgrade payment is confirmed.
What happens to in-progress tasks when I hit my quota limit? Any AI generation task that has not yet started will be paused. Tasks already processing will complete. New tasks will resume once your quota is replenished via upgrade or billing cycle reset.
