## How limits work

Each plan includes a set of resources. The numbers on the [pricing page](https://userplane.io/pricing) are your plan limits.

Resources marked "Unlimited" have a fair usage limit to prevent abuse. If you need more, [contact support](/support/contact) to request a higher allocation.

Enterprise plans have custom allocations for all resources. [Contact support](/support/contact) for details.

## How limits are enforced

* **Below limit** — everything works normally.
* **At limit** — the resource is blocked until the next billing period, until you upgrade, or until you purchase an add-on.

## Annual plans and rollover

Annual subscriptions distribute your yearly allocation across months. Unused resources from one month roll over to the next within your billing year.

<Info>
  For example, if your plan includes 300 recordings per year (25 per month) and you use 15 in
  January, the remaining 10 carry forward to February.
</Info>

## Fair usage

Resources listed as "Unlimited" are subject to a fair usage limit. Most workspaces never approach this limit.

If you need a higher allocation, open a [support ticket](/support/contact) and we will review your account.

## Seat add-ons

Need more seats than your plan includes? You can purchase additional seats without upgrading. See [Seat Add-Ons](/billing/seat-add-ons) for details.
