Ask for a higher usage limit

Last updated: October 26, 2026

When you near or reach your Creative Unit limit in a workspace, ask its admins for more and keep track of your request.

Before you start

  • This applies when your workspace limits what each member spends. See Usage limits for how limits work.

Steps

  1. Select Ask for more on the notice in the sidebar, which reads Nearing your usage limit or Usage limit reached. The same button is on the banner in chat, in the tools and when you run a workflow.

  2. Under New limit, enter the amount you need for the period, and under What do you need it for? say what you are working on and by when.

  3. Select Send request. The notice's button now reads View request.

  4. To see every limit you are under, open your account settings and select My Usage Limits under Account. Each limit shows its workspace, its period, what you have used and when it resets.

Result

Your workspace's admins are notified of your request. When one answers, you are notified in your inbox, by email and in Slack if you connected it: Usage limit raised, or Usage limit request declined with any note they left. An approved request gives you your own limit of the amount they granted, for the same period.

Production tips

  • Ask at the warning, not the block. The notice appears before you reach your limit, so ask then and keep working while an admin answers.

  • Give the reason an admin needs. What you are making and the deadline it is for is what lets them say yes quickly.

  • Change a request by withdrawing it. You can have one request waiting per workspace. Select View request, then Withdraw request, and ask again.

  • Watch the reset. My Usage Limits says when each limit resets; a daily limit may be back before an admin answers.

If something goes wrong

  • "You already have a request waiting for an admin." Select View request to see it, or withdraw it to ask for a different amount.

  • "Ask for more than" your current limit. Enter an amount above the limit you are under now.

  • Your work stopped and you cannot wait. A blocking limit holds until an admin raises it or the period resets. Contact a workspace admin directly.
