📌 Overview
When you set up Local Citations, you may see a message saying you have reached your quota limit, even though you have not hit any plan limit that you can see. In many cases, this happens because your account does not have enough Hyperdrive credits to complete the Local Citations order or setup. This article explains why it happens, how to check your balance, and what to do next.
❓ Why You See a Quota Limit Message
Local Citations submissions use Hyperdrive credits. If your available credits are lower than what the action requires, the platform may block the setup and display a general quota error instead of a specific credit message. This means:
- The error does not always mean you have used up a plan-level limit, such as the number of projects or locations.
- It can mean your Hyperdrive credit balance is too low to start the setup.
- It can appear even if other tools in your account are working normally.
🧭 How to Confirm Your Hyperdrive Credit Balance
- Log in to your Search Atlas account.
- Open your account or billing area and look for your plan and usage details.
- Find your Hyperdrive credits balance and compare it with the credits needed for the Local Citations action you are trying to run.
- Check whether your credits have been used by other Hyperdrive-powered actions in the same billing period.
If your remaining balance is zero or very low, that is the likely cause of the error.
🛠️ How to Resolve the Error
- Add more Hyperdrive credits. If your plan allows it, purchase additional credits or upgrade to a plan with a larger credit allowance.
- Wait for your credits to renew. If your credits refresh each billing cycle, you can retry the Local Citations setup after the renewal date.
- Review recent credit usage. If your balance is lower than expected, check which actions used credits recently so you can plan future usage.
- Retry the setup. After your balance is updated, return to Local Citations and start the setup again. Refresh the page first if the error is still displayed.
✅ Tips to Avoid This Error
- Check your Hyperdrive credit balance before starting a new Local Citations setup.
- Plan credit usage across projects or client accounts, especially if you manage several locations.
- Keep your billing details up to date so renewals and purchases are not interrupted.
🔄 If the Error Continues
If you have enough Hyperdrive credits and still see the quota message, try these steps:
- Log out and back in, then retry the setup.
- Make sure you are working in the correct account and project.
- Take note of the exact error text and the project or location you were setting up, so our team can investigate faster.
