Why AI actions stop, your firm's AI allowance

Every AI action, generating a draft, rewriting a passage, or anything else the AI does for you, draws on your firm's AI token allowance for the current billing period. When that allowance runs out, AI actions stop, but nothing you have already written is affected: you can keep working manually the whole time.

When your allowance runs out mid-period

If your organization has an AI token allowance and has used all of it, a banner titled "AI token limit reached" appears at the top of every page for everyone in the organization: "AI features are paused until your allowance resets on your renewal date. You can continue editing manually, or purchase a token add-on to resume AI features immediately." (An organization whose allowance resets on the calendar month reads "at the start of next month" in place of "on your renewal date".)

An Organization Admin sees a Request More Tokens button on the banner, linking to Billing. Everyone else sees one more line instead: "Continue editing manually or contact your Organization Admin to purchase additional tokens." The same wording follows you to the point of use. An AI action you attempt while at the limit, such as a rewrite, is refused with "AI token limit reached for this billing period." followed by "Continue editing manually or purchase additional tokens." for an Organization Admin, or "Continue editing manually or contact your Organization Admin to purchase additional tokens." for anyone else.

If your organization has never had an allowance

A different message appears if your organization has no active subscription and has never had an AI token allowance at all. Organization Admins and Admins see a quieter banner titled "No AI token allowance": "Your organization has no AI token allowance for this billing period. You can continue editing manually, and AI features turn on as soon as a subscription is active." An Organization Admin gets a Start a subscription button on it; an Admin sees "Continue editing manually or contact your Organization Admin to start a subscription." instead. Members and Viewers see no page banner in this state, only the message at the point of use: "AI features are unavailable without an active subscription." then "Continue editing manually or contact your Organization Admin to start a subscription." (an Organization Admin reads "Continue editing manually or subscribe to add an AI token allowance." there).

What still works

Generating a full draft with Yolo pauses partway through if the allowance runs out mid-draft; the sections already drafted are kept, and you can keep writing the rest by hand. AI Rewrite refuses a new request the same way, with the message shown as a toast instead of a banner. Nothing you have already written, saved, or generated is lost or reverted when the allowance runs out: writing, reviewing, exporting and every other manual action keep working normally.
