The Usage page is the live version of the Plans & limits table — instead of what your plan allows, it shows what you’re actually using right now. If a number on the plans table ever looks out of date, trust this page.

​
What’s on the page

Four resource cards cover the limits that are standing caps — configured once, not reset on a schedule:
  • Prompts — active tracked prompts across all your brands. See Managing prompts.
  • Brands — own-brands you’re tracking. See Brand profile.
  • Competitors — competitor brands tracked, against your per-brand allowance. On an agency account this card shows your per-brand cap multiplied by brand count, with a note to check the per-brand breakdown below — the constraint is still enforced per brand, so one brand can be at its limit even if the pooled total looks half-empty.
  • Countries — distinct markets your prompts run in. See Countries.
Each card shows a used/total count, a percentage, and a progress bar that turns amber near the limit and red at it. None of these four reset monthly — they only change when you add or remove something, so the count reflects your current configuration, not this month’s activity. Below the resource cards, a Visibility activity panel shows genuinely monthly consumption instead — scans run and mentions captured since the start of the calendar month. Your prompt count doesn’t change when a scan runs, but this does, and it resets automatically each month.
Agency accounts also see a Usage by brand table beneath the main cards, breaking prompts, competitors, and countries down per brand — useful for seeing which client is consuming most of your shared allowance.

​
What resets and what doesn’t

  • Manual scans reset on the 1st of the calendar month — see Manual scans for your allowance.
  • Audit allowances reset on their own monthly or weekly cadence depending on your plan — see Plans & limits.
  • Prompts, brands, competitors, countries, and brand aliases are standing limits, not monthly ones — using 25 of your 30 prompts stays true until you delete or add prompts.

​
What happens when you’re near or at a cap

Once any resource passes 80% of its limit, an Approaching plan limits banner appears at the bottom of the page, naming what’s close and linking to pricing. At 100%, the card switches to “Limit reached” and “Upgrade for more” becomes “Add more →”. Surfais enforces these limits at the point you try to add something, not retroactively — a prompt, brand, competitor, or country past your cap is blocked with a message to upgrade, never silently accepted or removed later. The Usage page is where you check your headroom before you hit that wall. To raise a limit, upgrade from here (the Upgrade button in the header goes to pricing) or, on an agency account, add capacity a la carte — see Add-ons. For a one-off audit rather than standing capacity, this page also carries a card to buy audit credits — see Extra audits.
