# **🔒 No Automatic Charges Beyond Your Plan (By Default)**

Your monthly subscription includes a fixed set of quotas. When you reach a limit, the system stops the action and shows a quota notice. It will not upgrade your plan or charge your payment method automatically unless an account admin has explicitly enabled Automatic top-up for Universal Credits from the Billing dashboard (Plans & Top-ups tab) (off by default).

Otherwise, you will only pay more if you manually add a top-up or upgrade your subscription in the billing settings.

# **📈 Where to See Your Quotas**

1. Open the left sidebar and go to **Local → Overview**.
2. Click the **Quotas** button at the top of the page.
3. Review the current usage bars for each resource (keywords, audits, content, etc.).

# **🤖 OTTO vs Non-OTTO Project Usage**

**OTTO projects** are OTTO SEO campaigns created under **OTTO SEO** in the left sidebar. They consume quotas from the OTTO SEO pool (scans, content generations, deployments).

**Non-OTTO projects** include GBP Projects, Local SEO Heatmaps, and manual audits. They draw from the Local SEO quota pool (GBP posts, review requests, heatmap scans).

Both pools are separate. Hitting a limit in one does not affect the other.

# **⚠️ What Happens When a Quota Is Reached**

- The specific feature pauses (e.g., you cannot start a new scan or generate content).
- A banner appears explaining which quota is exhausted.
- You can wait for the monthly reset, manually purchase a top-up, or upgrade your plan.

# **🛡️ You Stay in Control**

No surprises. No hidden fees. Automatic top-up for Universal Credits is off by default; only an account admin can turn it on or change it from the Billing dashboard (Plans & Top-ups tab), and an admin can turn it off there at any time. OTTO site top-ups are never added automatically — you buy them.
