## **📌 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**

1. Log in to your Search Atlas account.
2. Open your account or billing area and look for your plan and usage details.
3. Find your **Hyperdrive credits** balance and compare it with the credits needed for the Local Citations action you are trying to run.
4. 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**

1. **Add more Hyperdrive credits.** If your plan allows it, purchase additional credits or upgrade to a plan with a larger credit allowance.
2. **Wait for your credits to renew.** If your credits refresh each billing cycle, you can retry the Local Citations setup after the renewal date.
3. **Review recent credit usage.** If your balance is lower than expected, check which actions used credits recently so you can plan future usage.
4. **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.
