Subscription and usage

AI features depend on sign-in, plan, and current usage. Knowing those states makes it faster to see why the assistant is missing.

You need a signed-in account. AI specifically requires the Advanced plan, which may begin as a trial. The Assistant view can show remaining usage and warn when the balance is low or empty. When you hit a limit, assistant actions pause until you manage the account.

If the assistant disappears unexpectedly, confirm you are logged in, the plan is active, and usage remains. Account management links in the app go to subscription status.

This page does not list prices or quotas. Those live on the official Counterpunch account and pricing pages so they can stay current.

Sign-in and access problems overlap with Common problems. How the assistant works is in AI assistant.
