Lingo emails the Space Owner as your usage approaches your plan's allowance or your budget, so overage charges don't come as a surprise.
Overages and prepay will take effect for all customers starting on December 1, 2026. Learn more on our blog.
Usage alerts
You'll get an email when your usage of consumers, storage, direct link requests or direct link bandwidth reaches:
75% of your allowance
90% of your allowance
100% of your allowance
If usage jumps past more than one of these levels at once, you'll get one email for the highest level.
The email lists the usage that triggered it and explains that any additional usage before the end of your billing month will be billed as an overage. It links to your Billing page, where you can set a budget or add prepaid usage.
Usage alerts are sent to the Space Owner only.
Budget alerts
If you've set a budget with Alerts turned on, you'll also get emails when your overage spend reaches 75%, 90% and 100% of your budget. When the budget is reached, the email lets you know if content editing is paused.
Checking your usage anytime
Go to your Space settings, select Billing, and look at the usage cards. Each shows your included, additional included (prepaid) and overage usage, and when it resets.
The Next Bill area shows projected overages for the month.
