I've reached the update limit—what now?

Short Answer

Once the update limit is reached, any additional incoming updates are counted as overflow and will no longer appear in your Inbox. They aren’t lost, but they only become accessible again when the allowance rises or a new calendar month begins.

Details

The dashboard shows how many Updates you have collected and where the limit lies. On Basic, Pro and Premium it says This month, on the Trial plan it says Overall: its allowance counts everything since the Workspace exists and does not reset with the change of month.

If the limit applies for the rest of the month: You can either wait until the limit resets at the start of the new month or upgrade to a plan with a higher limit.

If you need more updates on a permanent basis: Upgrading your plan gives you more capacity immediately. Picasi then moves updates out of the overflow back into the inbox:

  • the newest first. If the new allowance is not enough for the whole overflow, the oldest stay behind.
  • only from the running month, in the Basic, Pro and Premium plans. What went into the overflow in the previous month stays there. In the Trial plan the allowance counts over the whole time, so everything qualifies.

In the inbox the recovered updates are sorted by publication date again.

Before the limit takes hold, Picasi tells the Workspace owner by email. See When does Picasi warn about an allowance running out?.

If you can get by with fewer updates: Check to see if you can disable channels that provide little relevant content. Less active channels mean fewer updates that use up your limit.
