How do storage, credits, and plan limits work together?

Understand how Air's storage, monthly credits, and plan limits work together in your workspace

Written by Lauren Ford


Air plans separate storage and monthly AI credit allowances. Storage is permanent and doesn't reset each month; AI credits refresh monthly without rollover. Existing paid workspaces retain their agreed plan terms.

Credit Cycles & Empty Balances

  • Monthly Reset: Each month, your full credit allocation refreshes. This monthly refresh applies even if your Air subscription is billed annually. Unused credits do not roll over.

  • Running Out of Credits: If your balance hits zero, you won't be able to generate AI content or process eligible AI image edits in the asset modal. An asset-modal AI edit does not start, and Air displays the out-of-credits response. When workspace credits are depleted, you also cannot submit Workspace Agent requests or start threads/tasks. See Explore Credits for depleted-composer and recovery details. However, your account is not locked—you can still browse, search, share links, and add users.


➕ Increasing Storage and Credit Capacity

If you run out of storage or credits, you have two main options to get more capacity:

  1. Upgrade Your Plan: Move to a higher-credit plan tier.

  2. Add Credit Packs or Storage Add-ons: Starter, Business, and Enterprise workspaces can purchase recurring Credit Packs for $1,000/year. Business, and Enterprise workspaces have storage add-ons for $500/year per additional 1 TB.

    • Additions: Applied via checkout immediately with prorated pricing.

    • Reductions/Cancellations: Managed via your settings. They are not prorated and will take effect at the end of your current billing cycle.


🎁 One-Time Gift Credits

Sometimes Air staff will grant standalone gift credits. These behave differently than standard credits:

  • AI Generation Only: Gift credits can only be used for AI generation. They cannot be used for Enriched Storage, uploads, or other non-generation usage.

  • Usage Priority: They are automatically used before your regular plan credits or Credit Packs.

  • No Expiration/Impact: They do not change your regular subscription pricing, do not reset monthly, and do not provide extra baseline upload capacity if your main account is maxed out.


👥 Users, Legacy Plans, and Admin Controls

  • User limits: Business and Enterprise include unlimited users at no extra per-seat cost. Free and Starter have the user caps listed above; board-only users count toward those caps.

  • Legacy Workspaces: Legacy plans may retain fixed storage limits or user caps. Included user caps follow your applicable agreement, not current advertised plan allowances. Compare your agreement with Workspace Settings → Current Plan and any enforced user cap. If they disagree, contact Air support or Customer Success for review rather than assuming an upgrade is required.

  • Where to Check Your Status: Admins can view exact live usage, limits, and your exact monthly reset date by going to Workspace Settings → Current Plan.
