## **🗺️ Overview**

Search Atlas offers powerful content creation tools across all plans, but some features have usage limits that vary by tier. This article explains exactly what those limits are, why you may see an upgrade prompt, and how your credits work — so you always know where you stand.

## **✅ 1-Click Publishing Has No Limits**

The **1-click publish** feature itself is **unlimited** on all plans. You can publish content directly to your connected site as many times as you like without hitting a publishing cap. If you see an upgrade prompt, it is **not** related to publishing frequency — it is triggered by your **article creation limit**, which is separate. See the section below for details.

## **📊 Article Creation Limits by Plan**

While publishing is unlimited, the number of articles you can **create** each month depends on your plan. Here is a breakdown:

- **Growth Plan:** Up to **40 articles** per month.
- Each Pro plan tier includes a monthly AI credit allotment (exact amount shown on your Plan & Usage page).
- Higher Pro tiers include a larger monthly AI credit allotment (exact amount shown on your Plan & Usage page).

Each article you generate consumes AI credits or counts toward your monthly article allowance depending on your plan. Once you reach your plan's limit, the platform will prompt you to upgrade before you can create additional articles that billing cycle.

## **🚀 Hyperdrive Credits for Press Releases**

Press releases use a **separate credit pool** called **Hyperdrive credits**. These are distinct from your standard AI article credits and are not shared with your regular content creation allowance. If you are creating press releases and see a limit warning, check your Hyperdrive credit balance independently — it will not affect or deplete your article creation credits, and vice versa.

## **❓ Why Am I Seeing an Upgrade Prompt?**

An upgrade prompt appears when one of the following has occurred:

- You have used all of your **monthly article creation allowance** (e.g., 40 articles on the Growth plan).
- You have exhausted your **AI credits** on a Pro plan for the current billing cycle.
- You have run out of **Hyperdrive credits** specifically for press release creation.

The prompt is **not** a sign that your publishing access has been removed — it only means you have reached the content **generation** limit for your current plan. Any articles already created can still be edited, optimised, and published without restriction.

## **🔍 How to Check Your Current Usage**

To see how many articles or credits you have remaining this month, navigate to your content tools via the left sidebar:

1. Click **Content** in the left sidebar.
2. Select **Content Planner** or open **Content Genius** (SEO Content Assistant) at **/content/seo-content-assistant**.
3. Review your usage summary or credit indicator displayed within the tool.

You can also visit the top-right avatar menu → **Billing** (separate page) to see a full breakdown of your plan's included features and remaining credits for the current cycle.

## **⚡ Choosing the Right Plan for Your Needs**

Here is a quick reference to help you decide which plan fits your content volume:

- **Growth Plan** — Best for individuals or small teams publishing up to 40 pieces of content per month.
- **Pro Plan (lower tier)** — Suited for growing teams with moderate to high content output.
- **Pro Plan (higher tier)** — Ideal for agencies or power users with large-scale, ongoing content production.

If you regularly reach your limit before the end of the month, upgrading to the next tier will give you a larger credit pool and allow uninterrupted content creation throughout the billing cycle.
