Usage Limits
How usage limits work in Do Browser, what the plans include, and how to get more capacity.
Do Browser's usage limits are based on how much the AI processes (called tokens), not how long you have the app open. You can leave Do Browser running all day — you're only using your allowance when the AI is actively working on a task.
How Limits Work
Every time Do Browser performs a task, the AI reads the page content, thinks through the steps, and takes action. Each of these steps uses a small amount of your allowance. Bigger or more complex tasks use more; simple tasks use less.
Limits reset every 5 hours, so even if you hit your limit, you won't have to wait long before you can get back to work.
Checking Your Usage
You can see how much of your current allowance you've used at any time:
- Open Do Browser and click the Settings icon.
- Look for the Usage section — it shows your current usage and when your next reset happens.
Plans
Standard Plan — $25/month
The Standard plan includes generous usage limits that cover normal, everyday use. Most users never hit their limit on this plan.
Max Plan — $100/month
The Max plan includes 4× more usage than Standard. This is a good fit if you're running Do Browser frequently throughout the day or automating large, complex tasks.
What Happens When You Hit Your Limit
If you reach your limit, Do Browser will let you know. You have a few options:
- Wait for the reset — your allowance resets every 5 hours.
- Bring your own API key — connect your own AI provider to bypass limits entirely. See AI Providers for a quick setup guide.
- Upgrade your plan — if you're on Standard, the Max plan gives you 4× the capacity.
Credit Top-ups
We're working on a way to purchase additional credits on the fly, so you won't have to wait or change plans. Stay tuned — this is coming soon.
Bring Your Own Key = No Limits
If you connect your own API key from OpenAI, Anthropic, or OpenRouter, Do Browser's built-in limits don't apply at all. You'll be billed directly by the AI provider based on your actual usage. Head over to AI Providers to get started.
Common Questions
"I barely used it — why am I at my limit?" Some tasks are more complex than they seem. If the AI needs to read a lot of page content (large tables, long documents), it uses more of your allowance per task. Try breaking big tasks into smaller steps.
"Does leaving Do Browser open use my allowance?" No. Usage is only counted when the AI is actively running a task. Having the extension open and idle uses nothing.
"I upgraded my plan but my limit didn't change." Plan changes may take a few minutes to take effect. Try closing and reopening the extension. If it still looks wrong, reach out to sawyer@dobrowser.io.
