# Usage

> Read your monthly usage meter, understand personal and shared allowances, review activity, and set member limits on paid plans.

See how much of your allowance remains and what is using it.

## Usage

Open your profile menu at the bottom of the sidebar to see **X% remaining** and the reset date.
This single meter shows your Free allowance or the current paid workspace's shared allowance.
Click the meter to open the workspace's **Usage** page.

The **Usage** view shows where the organization stands against its plan. The top meter, under
**This cycle, resets monthly**, covers everything that runs through Arro: chat, voice, watch
processing, and workflow runs.

What it measures depends on the plan, and the difference matters.

| Measure            | On a paid plan                      | On Free                                 |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| Meter heading      | **Workspace usage**                 | **Your monthly usage**                  |
| Whose allowance    | The workspace's, shared by everyone | Yours, following you between workspaces |
| Running out pauses | Everyone, until reset or upgrade    | Only you, in every Free workspace       |

On Free, a second workspace adds nothing, and your teammates keep working when you run out. Either
way the bar reads **X% remaining** and shrinks as you use it, turning amber near the limit and red once
the month's usage is gone. When your recent pace would use it up before the reset, the bar also
says roughly which day that lands on. The estimate comes from the last week of use and appears
once there are a few days to go on.

Passing 75% of the month's usage, and using it up, each send one notification to the bell. On
Free it goes to you; on a paid plan it goes to the workspace's owner and admins.

If an admin has set you a monthly limit, a second meter, **Your limit**, appears beside it. Your
limit can run out before the pool does, and the workspace bar cannot tell you that. Reaching it
pauses AI features for you alone, and an admin can raise it. See
[Plan limits](/account/plan-limits#monthly-usage) for what draws on monthly usage.

### Work in progress

Chats, task steps, recording analysis, and images count toward usage as results arrive.
They do not set aside allowance while they run.

Music and speech transcription temporarily set aside enough allowance for the next track or stretch of audio.
If another request cannot start while that allowance is reserved, wait for the work to finish and try again.

Stopping a response does not undo usage already incurred.
If final usage is temporarily unavailable, the meter updates when it becomes available.

Background tasks wait and retry when capacity is temporarily unavailable. If capacity remains unavailable,
the task stops with an explanation so you can try again later.

### Member usage

On a paid plan, admins and owners see a **Member usage** card showing how this cycle's workspace
usage splits across the team. Each row has the member, a bar and percentage for their share, their
limit and how much of it they have used, and a **Set limit** button.

A limit is a share of the workspace's monthly usage, and the default is **No limit**. A limit caps
what that person may spend. It sets none of the pool aside for them.

A **Former members** row appears when people who have since left spent part of this cycle. Their
share stays counted, so the rows always reconcile against the workspace meter.

The card does not appear on Free, because there is no shared pool to divide up. Each member's
allowance is their own, and it covers what they ran in their other Free workspaces too.

### Activity chart

The **Daily activity** chart plots two bars per day, each on its own scale. **Workflow runs (left)**
counts runs. **Allowance used (right)** is how much of a month's allowance that day consumed, as a
percentage, so bars stay comparable across billing periods. Hover a day for both figures.

Use the **7D / 30D / 90D / 1Y** toggle to change the window. The first three bucket by day, and
**1Y** buckets by month, retitling the chart **Monthly activity**.

On Free the chart is titled **Your daily activity** and shows your own usage, including what you
spent in other workspaces, matching the meter above it. It keeps matching after one of those
workspaces upgrades: what your own allowance paid for stays on your chart.
