AI agent action limits

All plans Member

When an AI agent works in Onplana (the in-app assistant, or a connected MCP client like Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT), each change it makes is an action. On the Free and Starter plans, the number of times an agent can perform a given write action per month is capped. On Pro and above, agent actions are unlimited, with one exception: comments keep a ceiling on every plan, because comment spam is the most realistic way an agent can go wrong.

This keeps automated activity reasonable on the entry plans without affecting normal work: you can always create tasks, comments, and the rest yourself in the app with no cap. The limit applies only to actions an AI agent performs.

What counts as an action

Section titled “What counts as an action”

An action is one write tool call made by an agent, such as creating a task, adding subtasks, or moving a task to a sprint. Each tool is counted on its own, per calendar month.

Reads are never capped. Listing, getting, and searching work on every plan with no monthly limit, so an agent can always look things up before it acts.

The caps

Section titled “The caps”

Caps apply on Free and Starter. On Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Enterprise Plus, agent actions are unlimited, apart from comments. A representative set of the most common actions:

Agent actionFree / monthStarter / monthPro and up
Create task50200Unlimited
Add subtasks100 subtasks1,250 subtasksUnlimited
Create epic10100Unlimited
Create milestone10100Unlimited
Create sprint with tasks330Unlimited
Add a comment10100500

Adding subtasks is counted per subtask, not per call. One call that adds eight subtasks uses eight of the allowance, so Free allows 100 subtasks a month however many calls they arrive in. Every other action counts one per call.

Comments are the one action still capped on paid plans, at 500 a month. Everything else in the table is unlimited from Pro upwards. Note that the Free comment allowance (10 a month) is deliberately small, so an agent that posts a progress note on every task will reach it quickly.

Other write actions follow the same pattern. For the exact, current cap on any action on your plan, a connected agent can call the describe_capabilities tool, which reports the live limit for every tool.

How this differs from other limits

Section titled “How this differs from other limits”

Three separate limits govern AI agents. They are easy to confuse, so each is owned by its own article:

  • Action limits (this page) cap how many write actions an agent performs per month on Free and Starter.
  • Connection limits cap how many agents can be connected at once (Free 2, scaling up by plan). See Connect an external AI agent.
  • Token budget is your prepaid AI allowance that every AI feature consumes. See Understand your AI token budget.

FAQs

Section titled “FAQs”

Do these caps limit what I do by hand? No. The caps apply only to actions an AI agent performs. Creating tasks, comments, or anything else yourself in the app is never capped.

What happens when an agent hits a cap? The single action is refused with a message naming the tool and your plan. The agent can keep reading and can perform other, uncapped actions. Upgrading to Pro or above lifts every cap except the comment ceiling, which stays at 500 a month on all paid plans.

Are read actions ever limited? No. Listing, getting, and searching are unlimited on every plan, including Free.

How do I see the exact limit for a specific action? A connected agent can call describe_capabilities, which returns the current monthly cap for each tool on your plan.
