📌 Overview
If you are on a monthly plan, you may notice that your OTTO AI Suggestions quota shows 500. Some customers remember a higher number in the past and ask why it changed. This article explains what the quota is, why the number you see may differ from what you remember, and how to check your current allowance.
🤖 What Are OTTO AI Suggestions?
OTTO AI Suggestions are AI-generated recommendations that help you improve your pages and content. Each time OTTO generates a suggestion for you, it counts toward your quota. The quota controls how many suggestions you can generate within your plan's usage period.
📅 How the Monthly Quota Works
- Plan-based: Your quota depends on the plan you are subscribed to.
- Usage-based: Every AI suggestion generated uses part of your allowance.
- Per billing period: On a monthly plan, usage is tracked across your monthly billing period.
- Separate from other credits: The OTTO AI Suggestions quota is tracked on its own and is not the same as other credits or limits in your account.
🔄 Why Your Quota May Look Different Than Before
Several things can cause the number to differ from what you saw earlier:
- Plan allowances can be updated. As Search Atlas adjusts plans, features, and usage limits, the quota included with a plan can change.
- Plan type matters. Monthly, annual, and legacy plans may have different allowances. If your plan changed, your quota may have changed with it.
- Different quota types. You may be comparing the AI Suggestions quota to another limit, such as a different credit type, which can have a different number.
- Remaining vs. total. The number shown may be what you have left this period, not your total allowance.

🔍 How to Check Your Current Quota
- Log in to your Search Atlas account.
- Open the OTTO section of the platform.
- Look for the AI Suggestions usage or quota indicator to see how many suggestions you have used and how many remain.
- Open your plan and billing settings to confirm which plan you are on and what it includes.
Take note of both the quota number and your plan name. This makes it easier to compare against what you remember.
💡 Tips for Getting the Most From Your Quota
- Prioritize key pages. Generate suggestions first for the pages that matter most to your traffic and goals.
- Avoid repeat generations. Review a suggestion before regenerating it, since each generation uses quota.
- Monitor usage mid-month. Checking your usage regularly helps you avoid running out before your period ends.
- Review your plan. If you regularly reach your limit, compare your options in your plan settings to see whether another plan fits your needs better.
