Warnings as you near a limit
The heads-up you get at 80, 90 and 95 percent of your credits, storage or documents, and what to do about it.
Step 1
A heads-up, not a block
If your organisation gives each person a share of its credits, storage or documents, Secretary tells you when you have used 80, 90 and 95 percent of yours. Nothing is blocked yet; you can keep working.
Approaching your credit limit
You've used 80% of your personal monthly credit limit (your even share of the team's plan). Contact your organization admin to increase your limit.
Step 2
Where it appears
Credit warnings show up as you send a chat message, storage and document warnings as you upload. The note slides in at the bottom right of the screen. The 80 and 90 percent ones close by themselves after a few seconds; the 95 percent one stays until you close it.
Credit limit almost reached
You've used 95% of your personal monthly credit limit (your even share of the team's plan). Contact your organization admin to increase your limit.
Step 3
The bar that stays
After a warning, a thin bar above the chat box, and above the list in Documents, keeps showing how much you have used, so you do not lose track once the note is gone. It turns amber at 90 and red at 95 percent.

Step 4
Your share
The note says whose limit it is. An even share of the team's plan means the organisation splits its plan equally between members. The share an admin set for you means the organisation uses Manual limits: either a fixed share set for you, or your part of what is left after other people's fixed shares.
Approaching your credit limit
You've used 90% of your personal monthly credit limit (the share an admin set for you). Contact your organization admin to increase your limit.
Step 5
What you can do
Members are asked to contact an organisation admin, who can raise their share. Admins get a link instead: Adjust limits opens Organization, Usage, or Top up credits opens Billing when the organisation does not split its plan.
Approaching your credit limit
You've used 90% of your personal monthly credit limit (your even share of the team's plan). You can change how limits are split under Organization → Usage.

Once per step
Each of the three warnings shows once, not on every message. Your credit share starts again with each billing period, so the warnings can return next month.
