Can I limit my daily spend or usage?

Yes, and at three levels: your whole account, a single business, or one page. Account caps live in Billing; business and page caps live on the dashboard next to the rows they apply to.

The kind of cap always matches how your plan is billed. Monthly plans cap comments, Enterprise caps dollars.

Your whole account

On monthly plans: a daily comment cap

Plans like Start, Boost, and Pro include a fixed number of comments per month. One viral post can burn through that quota in a couple of days, so the Usage limit card lets you cap how many comments we process per day. The rest of the month stays covered.

• Type a number and press Enter. The suggestion in the empty field is your plan's allowance split evenly across the billing cycle.
• The bar tracks today's processed comments against the cap, and the row below translates it into money: what a fully capped day costs, what you've spent today, and your per-comment rate.
• Clear the field (the ×) to remove the limit.

On Enterprise: dollar caps

Pay-as-you-go plans cap money instead. The Spending limits card takes a daily and a monthly dollar cap, each with its own progress bar against actual spend.

One page, or a whole business

An account cap protects the bill. It doesn't stop one page from eating everything before the others get a look in. That's what daily limits are for.

Open one from any row's ⋯ menu → Daily limit, or from the small pill under the Cost column on the Pages tab. On mobile, long-press a card and pick Daily limit.

• A page limit caps that page alone.
• A business limit caps the combined usage of every page inside it, so a portfolio can share one budget instead of you dividing it by hand.
• Select several rows first and the editor opens with a field per row, so you can set a whole set in one pass.

The pill under Cost tells you what governs each page at a glance: its own number when the page has its own limit, or BM limit when the business it belongs to is the thing holding it back. Tapping the pill opens whichever limit that is.

Which cap wins

All three levels apply at once. For every comment we check, in order:

account → business → page

The first one that is already exceeded stops the comment. A business limit counts every page in it together, so it is also a ceiling on any single page: a page capped at 500 inside a business capped at 100 will never reach 500.

What happens when a cap is reached

Comment processing pauses: until tomorrow for a daily cap, until the next billing period for a monthly one. You get a notification, and the dashboard shows a banner with a one-tap link back to your limits.

Rows that are paused this way show the status Daily limit in amber. When a business hits its limit, every page inside it shows it too, because all of them stopped.

Comments that arrive while you're paused aren't lost; they simply aren't processed, and they are not billed. Raise or clear the cap anytime and processing resumes right away.

When does "today" end?

At midnight in your account timezone, which you set in Settings. New accounts are on UTC until you change it. See What timezone is everything in? for what else that setting controls.

Caps are optional. No cap set means we process everything, exactly as before. See How does pricing work? for what a processed comment costs on your plan.
