Your assistant allowance limits how much you can ask the assistant. It has two parts: one for the last 5 hours, and one for the week. Longer answers, and answers that read a lot of your material, take more of it. Plus gives you 10 times the allowance of Free. An answer with Premium on takes about 10 times as much of it as the same answer without it (see Premium).
Seeing your allowance
Settings, on the Allowance tab, shows a bar for Last 5 hours and one for This week, each with how much of it you’ve used and when it’s empty again. The 5 hours start with your first message after the last ones ended. A bar turns yellow when it’s nearly full, and red when it’s used up.
Elsewhere, nothing shows until you’ve used most of it. Then a line above the box where you write to the assistant says how much of your allowance is left and when more comes. Once either one is used up, a message isn’t sent until then. An answer that has started always finishes.
Resets
A reset empties both bars at once, for when you need more before they end. The bars still end when they would have. The Allowance tab lists your resets with the date each one expires, and Use a reset uses the one that expires first. It’s off while both bars are empty, so you don’t use one up by accident.
