Anara applies usage limits based on your plan. Think of them as a daily budget: your AI word allowance resets every day, and your daily page processing resets every day too. This article explains what each limit means and how to manage them.
Types of limits
AI words
Each plan includes a daily allowance of AI-generated words. This counts the words in AI responses, not in your prompts. When you reach your daily limit, you will not be able to generate new AI responses until the limit resets the next day, or you upgrade to a higher plan.
Plan-specific limits
Exact limits vary by plan. For current numbers on each plan's AI word allowance, daily limits, and file size caps, visit anara.com/pricing.
What happens when you hit a limit
AI word limit reached: You will see a message in chat that your daily limit has been reached. The limit resets the next day. You can still read documents, organize your library, and use all non-AI features.
Daily file size limit reached: New uploads and imports will be queued or partially processed. The limit resets the next day.
File size limit exceeded: Only the first N pages (up to your plan's limit) are extracted and indexed for AI search. The rest of the file is stored but will not be searchable.
Anara shows an in-app banner when you hit a limit, explaining which limit was reached.

Tip: If you are hitting the file size limit on long documents, try importing by DOI or URL for papers where the abstract is sufficient context, and save direct uploads for documents where you need full-text AI access.
