# Usage

## Controlling resource usage

The \[**Usage**] section in the \[**Workplace settings**] allows you to monitor how resources are allocated and used under your current pricing plan. This helps you track limits on specific features and ensure your organization stays within usage allowances.

{% hint style="info" %}
These statistics reflect the overall usage of your [Workplace](https://help.timebook.ai/hc/product-guide/getting-around-timebook/app-navigation/workplace-navigation), not just your personal usage.

When you perform an action that exceeds the allocated resource limit for your Workplace, a reminder pop-up will appear, encouraging you to upgrade to a higher plan.
{% endhint %}

See below for the complete list of statistics available in this section.

## Understanding usage metrics

The \[**Usage**] section shows an overview of the resource categories listed in the table below. Usage limits reset on a scheduled basis, which is displayed at the top of the page. This ensures that your resource allocation renews regularly.

<table><thead><tr><th width="225">Usage limit</th><th>How to read it</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Writing assistant</strong></td><td>Tracks the number of prompts used in AI-powered writing assistance. This is calculated across several Timebook modules (like <a href="../../product-guide/documents">Documents</a> or <a href="../../product-guide/documents/wiki">Wiki</a>) and text fields (like <a href="../../product-guide/core-concepts-and-objects/delivery-objects/work-item">Work Item </a>descriptions).</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Interview assistant</strong></td><td>Displays the number of “Generate Insights” requests used in the <a href="../../product-guide/core-concepts-and-objects/research-and-planning-objects/interview">Interview</a> flow.

If you are approaching or exceeding a limit, you can do the following:

* Consider upgrading your plan via the [Billing](https://help.timebook.ai/hc/settings/workplace-settings/billing) section.
* Reduce usage by archiving or deleting unnecessary content.
* Contact Timebook support if you need additional resources.
