What we decided
- When you reach the watched-minutes limit, playback stops until the next UTC month starts.
- Free does not charge overage. Paid plans are not on sale yet, so a limit stays in place until the next month.
Why
- A plan is a set of limits. Each limit decides what the plan covers, and when a customer needs the next plan.
- Free is for testing and small trials. It is not built for a busy site.
What it means for you
- Check the usage endpoint before you ship a launch. It shows your limits and what is left. See Usage and limits.
- Free stops playback at the watched-minutes limit. Plan for that.
- Pilot accounts have higher limits. See Pilot.
