Understanding Usage Limits & Plans

Basics

The window

TextMate AI limits usage with a rolling 4-hour token window, not a daily reset. The window starts at your first message and expires exactly 4 hours later, at which point a new window begins.

Limits by plan

PlanTokens per 4-hour window
Free500,000
Pro1,000,000 (2x Free)

Tokens count both what you send and what the model generates.

What happens at the limit

Once a window's token budget is used, new messages are blocked until the window rolls over (up to 4 hours from your first message in that window). Upgrading to Pro raises the ceiling 2x and unlocks the remaining 5 models.
