Usage Tracking
Monitoring Your Usage
Track your usage in real-time from the billing dashboard:

Usage Alerts
Receive notifications when approaching limits:

Team-Level Quotas
Usage limits apply at the team level, not per user. All team members share the same pool of emails, contacts, and features. Team owners can view usage breakdown by member in the billing dashboard.
Overage Handling
When you hit a limit:

Troubleshooting
Common Billing Issues
Payment declined
Check that your card details are correct and the card isn't expired. Ensure sufficient funds and that international payments are enabled. Try a different payment method if issues persist.
Unexpected charge
Review your invoice history for itemized charges. Prorations from plan changes or add-ons may appear. Contact support if you believe a charge is in error.
Can't upgrade/downgrade
Ensure your payment method is valid. If downgrading, verify your usage fits within the new plan's limits. Clear browser cache and try again.
Invoice not received
Check your spam folder. Ensure your billing email is correct. Download invoices directly from Settings → Billing → Invoice History.
