Anara applies usage limits based on your plan. Think of them as a monthly budget: your AI word allowance refreshes each billing cycle, and your daily page processing resets every day. This article explains what each limit means and how to manage them.
Types of limits
AI words
Each plan includes a monthly allowance of AI-generated words. This counts the words in AI responses, not in your prompts. When you reach your monthly limit, you won't be able to generate new AI responses until the limit resets or you upgrade.
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'll see a message in chat that your monthly limit has been reached. The limit resets on your billing renewal date. 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 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 won't be searchable.
Anara shows an in-app banner when you hit a limit, explaining which limit was reached.

Tip: If you're 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.
