Your membership includes a generous amount of AI usage every week. The Usage button at the top of the workspace shows how much you've used.

Open in Desire AI: Your usage · Billing & subscription

The usage panel showing Today and This week

Today and This week

  • Today is your daily share. It keeps you from using a whole week in one marathon session, and resets every night.

  • This week is your included weekly usage. It resets on the day and time shown.

Longer conversations, big documents and images use more than quick questions. If you're on pace to run out early, the panel tells you when.

When you run out

Chat pauses until usage is available again, and the message box tells you when. You can:

  • Wait for the daily or weekly reset.

  • Buy extra usage to keep going straight away.

  • Reset for free, if offered. Members sometimes get a free reset once they've used most of the week.

Extra usage

Extra usage is used only after your included weekly usage runs out, and it carries over until you use it.

  1. Click Buy extra usage in the usage panel, in My Account, or on Billing & subscription.

  2. Choose an amount. Larger amounts include a bonus.

  3. Pay securely through Stripe.

Keep going automatically, with a limit

Turn on Keep going with extra usage in My Account so chat never stops mid-launch. Use Set a limit (or Manage limit) to cap how much extra usage can be bought each month.
