Your organisation has a monthly answer allowance: the number of answers your assistants may give in one calendar month. The Dashboard shows it as Answers this month, for example “850 of 1,000 answers used this month”. When the allowance is used up, your assistants stop answering until the next month starts.

​
What counts as an answer

One question that an assistant responded to counts as one answer.
  • It counts wherever the question was asked: the Playground, your website widget, the API or MCP. All of them draw on the same allowance.
  • It counts whether the assistant answered or said it could not answer from your content.
  • It does not count if the answer failed before anything was written, for example because the model provider was unavailable.
  • Sending the same question again with the same idempotency_key is not counted twice.
Syncing your sources does not use answers.

​
What you see as the month goes on

The count starts again at the beginning of each calendar month, at midnight UTC. Unused answers do not carry over.

​
What happens at the limit

Your assistants stop answering new questions, everywhere at once.
  • In the Playground, the question is not sent and you are told the month’s answers are used up.
  • In your website widget, a visitor who asks a question sees “The monthly answer limit for this account has been reached.”
  • Over the API and MCP, the request is refused with status 429 and the code quota_exceeded. See Errors.
Everything else keeps working. You can still sign in, read past conversations, sync sources and change settings. To get more answers before the month ends, ask whoever manages your MITHUNAI account to raise your allowance. A change takes effect on the next question; nothing needs restarting.

Who can see usage

Read it with the API

Get answer allowance returns the same figure, with a breakdown by day, by surface and by assistant.
The allowance counts answers. It is not a bill, and this screen shows no prices.
