# Usage

> See how much of your plan you are using and what happens when you reach a limit.
> URL: https://artor.app/docs/usage

Open **Settings → Usage** to see your organization's members, publisher seats, storage, and
public-link views. Only owners and admins can see this page. For included amounts, see
[Plans & pricing](https://artor.app/docs/plans#what-each-plan-includes).

Counts refresh when you open the page. Storage is measured periodically, so check the date
beside that reading. A new organization may show **Not measured yet** until after its first
measurement.

There is no separate limit on prototype or version counts; the files they use count toward
storage. Public-link views cover the last 30 days. Opening a prototype from the dashboard
does not use the view allowance.

## Reading the bars

| Usage | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| Below 75% | Within the limit |
| 75% to below 100% | Amber: approaching the limit |
| 100% or more | Red: at or over the limit |
| Unlimited | No progress bar |

The amount and limit appear beside each bar, so you don't need to rely on color.

## The sidebar reminder

When storage or public-link views reach 75%, owners and admins also see a reminder in the
sidebar linking to Usage. It disappears on the next dashboard load after usage drops below
75% or an upgrade provides more capacity. Other members do not see it.

## Warning emails

Owners and admins receive warnings when storage or public-link views reach 75% or 100%.
There is at most one email for each metric and threshold per month. Publisher seats do not
trigger warning emails; Artor explains that limit when you try to add another publisher.

Turn warnings off using **Usage limit warnings** under **Settings → Notifications**.
That preference applies across your organizations. See [Email notifications](https://artor.app/docs/notifications).

## What each limit actually does

| Limit | What happens when you reach it | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Storage | New publishes are blocked. Existing prototypes can still be opened, shared, and downloaded. Data is not deleted for exceeding storage. | Upgrade for more space, or allow deleted work to finish its recovery period and the next storage measurement. |
| Publisher seats | You cannot add another publisher. Existing publishers keep their seats, subject to other plan limits. | Upgrade or [change a seat](https://artor.app/docs/seats). |
| Public-link views | Public links normally keep working. Access may be temporarily limited during public-traffic restrictions. Signed-in member previews are unaffected. | Review the [plan allowance](https://artor.app/docs/plans#what-each-plan-includes) or upgrade. Contact us if bots inflated the count. |

Trashing a prototype does **not** free storage immediately. Its files remain recoverable for
30 days, and usage falls only after that window and a later measurement. It will not unblock
publishing the same day.

If public-link access is restricted, affected visitors see a “temporarily unavailable” page.
For suspected bot traffic, contact [contact@artor.app](mailto:contact@artor.app); we can reset
the view count as a courtesy.

## From the terminal

Owners and admins can read the same usage with the CLI:

```bash
artor usage                 # linked organization, or your default; admin access required
artor usage --org <ref>      # another organization you administer;
artor usage --json           # output for a coding agent or script; admin access required
```

The output includes the storage reading's age and uses the same warning thresholds.
