Monitor your usage to stay within plan limits and avoid service interruptions. Zenovay shows your current usage in-app and warns you as you approach your limit.

Understanding Usage Limits

What Counts as an Event

Events are the core unit of measurement:

Plan Limits

PlanEvents/MonthWebsitesTeam Members
Free10,000 (350/day)12
ProFrom 10,000, scales with volume55
ScaleFrom 10,000, scales with volume1025
EnterpriseCustomUnlimitedUnlimited

Pro and Scale are volume-based: you pick a monthly event volume when you subscribe, and the price scales with it. The Free plan also has a daily cap (350 events/day) on top of the monthly limit. See plans overview for the full pricing detail.

Viewing Current Usage

Access the Usage Page

  1. Open Usage

    Go to Settings → Usage.

  2. Review the overview

    The Overview tab shows your website events for the current month (and the daily limit on the Free plan).

  3. Check detailed quotas

    Open the Limits sub-page for per-resource usage like API key requests, MCP queries, domains, and team members.

Usage Overview

The Overview shows:

  • Website Events: events used this month vs. your monthly limit
  • Daily Limit (Free plan): events used today vs. the 350/day cap
  • First-Party Tracking: proxy event usage and any overage, if you use the first-party proxy

A colored progress bar fills toward your limit and turns amber as you get close.

Detailed Quotas

The Limits sub-page breaks usage down by resource:

ResourceWhat it shows
API Key EventsMonthly API requests vs. your plan's limit, plus your rate limit
MCP RequestsDaily MCP queries and connected apps
Interview ResponsesMonthly response usage (when AI Interviews are in use)
DomainsWebsites used vs. allowed
Team MembersMembers used vs. allowed
Agency ClientsClient tenants used (agency plans)

Usage Warnings

Zenovay watches your usage for you. You don't need to configure thresholds or recipient lists.

How You're Notified

  • An in-app warning appears on the Usage page when you approach your limit (around 80% of the free event allowance on the first-party proxy).
  • A usage banner can surface in the dashboard as you near your monthly limit.

If you're on a paid plan and approaching your included volume, the warning links you to enabling Pay-As-You-Go or upgrading your volume.

What Happens at Limit

Free Plan

When you hit the monthly (or daily) limit:

  • Tracking pauses until the limit resets
  • Your existing data stays in the dashboard
  • The limit resets on your billing date (the daily cap resets each day)
  • Upgrade to keep tracking without interruption

As you approach your included volume:

  • An in-app warning appears
  • You can enable Pay-As-You-Go to keep tracking past your included events
  • You can increase your volume or upgrade your plan mid-cycle
  • Your existing data is never lost

Pay-As-You-Go

Pro Plan

On paid plans you can turn on Pay-As-You-Go so tracking continues past your included events, billed per extra block of events:

  1. Open Usage

    Go to Settings → Usage.

  2. Enable Pay-As-You-Go

    Toggle on Pay-As-You-Go in the Extras section.

  3. Review the rate

    Expand the pricing summary to see the per-100K rate for your plan before confirming.

When Pay-As-You-Go is off, tracking pauses once you reach your included volume rather than charging you extra. See pay-as-you-go for rates and details.

Reducing Usage

Filter Unnecessary Traffic

Reduce events without losing insights by excluding traffic you don't care about. Zenovay's tracker filters known bots automatically, and you can add your own exclusions per website:

  1. Open your website's dashboard and go to Settings → Exclusions (or the domain's Exclusions settings tab).
  2. Exclude your own team's IP addresses so internal traffic isn't counted.
  3. Exclude specific paths, hostnames, or countries as needed.

Keep Staging Out of Production Sites

  • Don't track development environments under your production website
  • Use a separate tracking code for staging so it doesn't consume your production allowance

Optimize Tracking

  • Track only the pages that matter
  • Reduce unnecessary custom event firing

Remove Unused Websites

If you're tracking sites you no longer need:

  1. Go to Domains.
  2. Remove sites you no longer track.
  3. Free up capacity for the websites that matter.

Multi-Website Usage

Your monthly event allowance is shared across all the websites in your workspace. If you're approaching your limit:

  • Add IP and path exclusions to the highest-traffic sites
  • Focus tracking on your most important properties
  • Remove inactive sites you no longer need

You can see how many of your allowed domains you're using on Settings → Usage → Limits.

Team Usage Visibility

Who can see and manage usage depends on their workspace role:

RoleAccess
OwnerFull usage data, plus billing and plan settings
EditorView usage and edit settings
ViewerView usage and reports, no changes

FAQ

When does usage reset?

On your billing date each month. On the Free plan, the daily cap also resets each day.

Can I track more than my plan allows?

On paid plans, enable Pay-As-You-Go to keep tracking past your included events, or increase your volume / upgrade your plan. On the Free plan, upgrade to a paid plan for more events.

Do failed tracking calls count?

No, only successfully recorded events count.

What about test events?

Events from staging environments count if they hit the same website. Use a separate tracking code for testing, or add a path/hostname exclusion.

Can I see real-time usage?

Usage updates frequently but isn't strictly real-time, it may take a few minutes to reflect the latest events.

Troubleshooting

Usage Seems Too High

  • Check for bot traffic that isn't being filtered
  • Review your IP and path exclusions
  • Look for duplicate tracking codes on the same page
  • Make sure staging isn't tracked under your production site

Not Seeing a Warning

  • Open Settings → Usage to check your current count directly
  • Confirm you're looking at the correct workspace
