How to Handle Overage Charges

Understand and control usage-based charges when you exceed your plan limits

Each plan includes storage and bandwidth allowances. If your team exceeds these limits, overage charges apply based on your plan's rates — but only if you've opted in by setting an overage limit.

How overages work

By default, your overage limit is set to $0, which means hard limits are enforced. When you hit your plan's storage or bandwidth cap, uploads are blocked and video delivery stops until the next billing period or until you upgrade.

If you set an overage limit, your team can continue operating beyond the plan limits up to your chosen spending cap. Overage charges are billed at the end of each billing period on top of your regular subscription.

Overage rates

Rates depend on your plan:

  • Storage — charged per GB/month over your plan's included storage
  • Bandwidth — charged per GB over your plan's included monthly bandwidth
  • Seats — charged per additional team member over your plan's included seats

Exact rates are shown on the billing card in Settings.

Set an overage limit

  1. Go to Settings in the sidebar.
  2. In the Billing section, find the Overage limit setting.
  3. Enter the maximum amount you're willing to spend on overages per billing period.
  4. Click Save.

The maximum overage limit depends on your plan tier. Setting it to $0 disables overages entirely — your team will be hard-blocked at plan limits instead.

Monitor your usage

The billing section in Settings shows your current storage and bandwidth usage relative to your plan limits. You'll see a warning when usage reaches 80% of your limit.

For a more detailed breakdown, visit the Analytics page to see bandwidth trends over time.

What happens when you hit the cap

If your team reaches its overage limit, the same hard limits apply as if overages were disabled:

  • New uploads are blocked
  • Video delivery may be paused
  • Existing embed codes stop working until the next billing period resets usage, or you increase your overage limit

To avoid interruptions, monitor your usage and adjust your overage limit or upgrade your plan before hitting the cap.
