Usage limits and what happens when you reach them
Understand monthly allowances, warning thresholds, hard limits, resets and add-on capacity.
Last updated 2026-08-28
What you'll achieve
- Read usage units correctly
- Know what stops at a limit
- Add capacity without surprise overages
Current allowance source
The public Pricing page is the current plan and add-on catalogue. It shows prices, currency, billing interval, included capacity and each add-on's purchase range. The signed-in Billing page shows the entitlements and measured usage for the active workspace.
Byte allowances are displayed as MB or GB. Runtime compute is measured as Wasm execution fuel: work performed by a backend module consumes fuel, while browser frontend work and idle time do not. Preview CPU is measured in active milliseconds. Database queries, outbound requests, preview builds, resource operations and accepted telemetry events are counted as the named operation.
When a limit is reached
BlinkHost does not automatically purchase capacity or charge usage overages. Metered allowances use warning thresholds as usage approaches the limit. A hard-limited operation is rejected when accepting it would exceed the remaining allowance; saved project source and already purchased entitlement remain available. In-flight runtime work is bounded and stopped rather than allowed to create an unlimited bill.
Monthly counters reset at the start of the next usage month shown in Billing. A workspace owner can wait for that reset, reduce usage, buy a compatible add-on within the quantity shown in the catalogue, or change plan. Concurrency and resource-count limits are not monthly counters: finish or remove the relevant active resource, or increase the applicable capacity.
Telemetry above its event or byte allowance is not accepted, and BlinkHost does not bill an overage. Preview build, preview transfer, preview CPU, preview resource operations, database queries, runtime fuel and bandwidth likewise remain plan-governed. The UI should show the affected meter and a safe next action; contact billing@blinkhost.me if the displayed usage and a rejected operation disagree.
Customer impact by limit
| Limit | What is rejected at the hard limit | What remains available |
|---|---|---|
| Project, environment or module count | Creating another governed resource | Existing saved projects and retained resources |
| Concurrent build or preview count | Starting another build or preview until one finishes | Existing source and completed deployments |
| Storage | An upload or deployment that would exceed remaining storage | Existing stored source, assets and retained artifacts |
| Monthly bandwidth | The affected delivery request once no allowance remains | Saved source and project configuration |
| Monthly runtime compute | Backend execution that cannot complete within remaining allowance | Static frontend content and saved module source, subject to their own limits |
| Outbound requests | A further outbound call from the affected module | Other permitted module work |
| Preview allowances | The preview operation that would exceed the relevant build, CPU, transfer or resource-operation meter | Production deployments and saved source |
| Database allowances | The new database operation or resource that exceeds the applicable count or monthly meter | Existing schema and project source; database availability remains subject to provider health |
| Telemetry allowance | Additional telemetry ingestion | Previously retained telemetry until its plan retention expires |
The operation that crosses a hard limit fails instead of creating an automatic charge. A live application can therefore return an error for a request that depends on exhausted bandwidth, runtime, outbound-request or database capacity even though its source and retained deployment still exist. Billing identifies the affected meter; restoring service requires the next monthly reset, freeing count/concurrency capacity, a compatible add-on or a plan change.
