Quotas & Limits
PrompTick measures usage in two user-facing units: AI Actions and Test Runs. This page explains exactly what counts.
AI Actions
An AI Action is one completed AI workflow initiated by you. Each of these counts as one AI Action:
- Generating a new prompt (
generate_prompt) - Improving an existing prompt (
improve_prompt) - Enriching a coding prompt (
enrich_coding_prompt) - An execution of one of your deployed agents triggered from the PrompTick UI
- An MCP tool call from an AI coding assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)
What does NOT count as a separate AI Action
- Internal sub-agent calls. A single workflow (e.g. generate_prompt) may internally orchestrate multiple AI steps. The whole workflow counts as one AI Action regardless of how many sub-steps run under the hood.
- Clarification round-trips within the same workflow. If a workflow asks you a clarification question and you answer it, the follow-up is part of the same AI Action.
- Agent executions triggered by your own code via the Agent API. Those are billed as API calls against your agent's own quotas, not as AI Actions.
Test Runs
A Test Run is one evaluation of one test case × one model.
- Running 10 test cases against 3 models = 30 Test Runs
- Running the same test case twice = 2 Test Runs
- Re-running only failed cases counts each re-run individually
Test Runs require the Testing Framework, which is available on Pro and above.
Projects
Caps on how many active projects an organization can hold. Archiving a project does not currently free a slot — delete old projects if you need room.
Members
For Team and Enterprise plans, the member cap is typically expressed as seat count (and billed per seat). Invitations to pending members count toward the cap.
Storage
Storage limits cover prompt content, test cases, test run history, and agent logs. Old test run data can be pruned from the workspace settings.
What happens when you hit a limit
- AI Actions exhausted: new AI Actions are blocked until your monthly reset (1st of the month) or until you upgrade.
- Test Runs exhausted: the same — blocked until reset or upgrade.
- Free tier daily cap hit: AI Actions pause for the rest of the day and resume automatically after 24 hours. The monthly allowance is not affected.
- Projects / members / storage cap hit: you'll be prompted to upgrade or free up space before creating new resources.
