❓ What this error means
The message "No available quota for AI Visibility (formerly LLM Visibility) Analysis" appears when every AI Visibility (formerly LLM Visibility) project slot included in your plan is already in use. Each plan includes a set number of slots (for example, 4), and the system blocks new analyses once all of them are occupied.
This error is about project slots (how many AI Visibility (formerly LLM Visibility) projects you can track at once), not about LLM scan credits (which power each scan). Running out of credits can silently stop scheduled scans, but it does not produce this message.
The most common point of confusion is this: you may see only 2 active projects on your dashboard but still be told that all 4 slots are taken. This almost always means that one or more slots are being held by projects that are not currently visible to you.
🔍 Why slots can be "used" when projects aren't visible
A slot stays reserved as long as a project is attached to it, even if that project isn't shown in your main view. The usual causes are:
- Archived or paused projects. Projects you archived still hold their slot until they are fully deleted.
- Per-country versions of the same domain. AI Visibility (formerly LLM Visibility) tracks a separate project for each country (plus a "Worldwide" scope) for a given domain, and each tracked scope uses its own slot. Your dashboard usually shows only the project that matches your account's country, so siblings tracked under other countries can occupy slots without appearing in your main view.
- Duplicate projects for the same domain. In some cases more than one tracked project can exist for the same domain on your account. Each duplicate consumes a slot, and the domain may not open from the project list (it may instead prompt you to create the project again).
- Projects removed from Site Explorer or Keywords. Removing a domain from your Site Explorer or Keywords list does not always release its linked AI Visibility (formerly LLM Visibility) slot, so the project can stay tracked in the background and keep its slot.
- Projects in another workspace or organization. If your account has access to more than one workspace, slots may be consumed by projects created elsewhere.
- Projects created by a teammate. A colleague on the same plan may have set up projects that don't appear in your personal filtered view.
- Recently deleted projects still releasing. When a project is deleted, its slot can take a short time to free up.
- Filtered or hidden views. An active search, label, or status filter on your dashboard can hide projects that are still counted against your quota.
🕵️ How to find the hidden projects
Follow these steps to locate every project consuming a slot:
- Open the AI Visibility (formerly LLM Visibility) section from the left-hand menu.
- Clear any active filters, labels, or search terms so that all projects are shown.
- In OTTO SEO → All Sites (SEO Automation), switch the status tab to Active or Deep Frozen so paused and archived projects appear.
- Check the AI Visibility (formerly LLM Visibility) module directly rather than relying on the Site Explorer label. A domain that already has an active project may still show "Add to LLM" in Site Explorer; opening the AI Visibility (formerly LLM Visibility) section confirms the true status. (A recent fix improved this indicator, so make sure you are on the latest version.)
- If you belong to more than one workspace, use the workspace switcher at the top to check each one.
- Count the total number of projects across all statuses and workspaces. This number should match your plan's slot limit.
🧹 How to free up a slot
Once you have found the projects using your quota, choose the option that fits your needs:
🗑️ Delete a project you no longer need
- Locate the project in the list (including archived ones).
- Open its settings or use the action menu next to it.
- Select Delete and confirm.
- Wait a few moments for the slot to release, then create your new analysis.
🔄 Replace an existing project
If all of your projects are still in use but priorities have shifted, delete the lowest-priority one to make room for the new one. Export any historical data you want to keep before deleting, as removal is permanent.
🔑 Restore access to a workspace slot
If a slot is held in another workspace you can't see, ask the workspace owner or admin to delete the project there, or to grant you access so you can manage it.
♻️ Reclaim a slot held by a hidden or duplicate project
Some slots are held by projects you cannot currently see or delete yourself — for example a per-country or "Worldwide" version of a domain, a duplicate of a domain that won't open from the list, or a project that stayed tracked after you removed the domain from Site Explorer or Keywords. These are known issues our team is actively addressing, and several related fixes have already shipped. If you suspect one of these is consuming a slot, contact support so we can untrack the hidden project and free the slot for you.
4️⃣ Using the 4th slot you are paying for
If your plan includes 4 slots, all 4 are available to you, but a slot only becomes usable when no project is attached to it. To open the slot:
- Confirm the true project count using the steps above (remember archived, per-country, and cross-workspace projects all count).
- Delete or replace one project so the total active count drops below your limit.
- Create your new AI Visibility (formerly LLM Visibility) analysis. The error should no longer appear.
If you have confirmed that you have fewer projects than your plan allows and the error still appears, the slot may be stuck in a releasing state, or your quota may not be reading correctly. A known issue that caused the system to report a "maximum of 0" projects despite a correct quota has been resolved; if you still see the error after dropping below your limit, contact support.
📞 When to contact support
Reach out to our support team if:
- You have verified that your total project count (across all statuses and workspaces) is below your plan limit, but the error persists.
- You cannot see or delete a project that appears to be using a slot — such as a per-country version of a domain, a duplicate, or a project that remained after you removed the domain from Site Explorer.
- A deleted project has not released its slot after a reasonable wait.
- You believe your plan should include more slots than are currently showing.
To help us resolve the issue quickly, include your account email, your plan name, a screenshot of the error, and the names of the projects you can see.
