The daily analysis allowance is enforced server-side on the UTC day: 2 reads on the free tier and 500 on Pro. A gated read stops before any data is fetched, so nothing is computed and nothing is charged. The signed-out demo counts a different day entirely — the visitor's own calendar date.
The limits
Free accounts get 2 analyses per day; Pro gets 500; Elite gets 2000. Follow-up questions past the free count on a read spend the same credit rather than drawing on a second allowance.
One currency is deliberate. Two separate allowances would double the number of things a trader has to keep track of to know whether they can do the thing they want to do.
Enforcement order
The server holds the ledger and is the authority. The client pre-checks so the interface can be honest in advance, but the refusal that matters happens server-side.
A refused read stops before any candle is fetched. The canvas stays empty and the pane itself becomes the explanation, naming the limit — rather than rendering a chart and then declining to grade it.
The allowance chip
It reads the server ledger on arrival and refreshes after every run, so it reflects spend rather than predicting it.
If the ledger read fails, the client fails open — it shows the allowance as available while the server continues to enforce the real limit. The alternative would be locking someone out of a product they have paid for because of a transient read error.
Two definitions of a day
The account allowance resets on the UTC boundary, because that is the boundary the server ledger uses and a shared ledger needs one unambiguous day.
The signed-out demo resets on the visitor's own local calendar date, because a visitor watching a counter should see it roll over at midnight where they are.
The two are never conflated. They count different things for different people.
What never spends an analysis
A reused read inside its window, a watchlist re-scan, and a refused read all cost nothing.
Frequently asked
- When does my analysis allowance reset?
- On the UTC day boundary, which is the server ledger’s definition and the only unambiguous one for a shared ledger. The signed-out demo is the exception: it counts one chart per calendar day in your own timezone.
- Does a refused read still use up an analysis?
- No. A gated read stops before any data is fetched — nothing is computed, so nothing is charged. Reused reads inside their window and watchlist re-scans are also free.
