EspañolLimits and spending
In a shared account everyone spends from the same balance: the tokens belong to the account, not to each person. Read How tokens are spent.
Only the owner and admins buy tokens. The receipts go to the owner.
A member’s monthly limit
Section titled “A member’s monthly limit”The owner or an admin can give a member a limit of Tokens per month, from 1 to 100,000. With no limit, the member spends from the balance until it runs out. Only the Member role has a limit.
- Searches, tracking days and comparisons count. Tokens that go back to the balance, for example from a search cancelled before it started, don’t count.
- The limit follows the account’s month and starts again when that month ends.
- In Users & permissions, the member’s row says how much they have used, for example “120 of 300 tokens this month”.
The limit is set when you invite, or later with Change on the person’s row.
At the limit
Section titled “At the limit”If a member tries to spend more than they have left, they see the tokens notice with a line like “You have used 300 of your 300 tokens this month in this account. Your limit starts again on …; an owner or admin can raise it sooner.”
In place of Buy tokens, the notice shows Ask an admin for more, which leads to Users & permissions. A member with no limit sees the same button when the account’s balance runs short.
A daily tracking at the limit
Section titled “A daily tracking at the limit”If the member who created a daily tracking reaches their limit, the tracking pauses. It says “Paused:” and that this person reached their monthly token limit. The days already done are kept and the days without tokens are skipped. The member gets an email.
It runs again by itself when the account’s month starts again or when an owner or admin raises the limit.
Who spent what
Section titled “Who spent what”In a shared account, the Token history has a By column that says who spent each movement. If that person is gone, it says “Someone no longer in the account”.
- The owner and admins see everyone’s spending.
- A member or a viewer sees their own spending and what came into the account. They get there with See history, in their area’s menu, under Your tokens.
