Plan limits
Every free-plan limit in Discord Buddy in one table - counts, rotation and cooldown timings, analytics history - and what changes with a Premium plan.
This page lists the limits every server starts with on the free plan, and what Premium changes. Premium numbers are set per plan and can change, so where a number depends on the plan this page says "set by plan": check the Premium page Feature Comparison for the current values.
Pages with a limit show a bar like "3 / 5 used" (or "3 used · Unlimited" when there's no cap). On a free server the bar also says what the best plan unlocks. Premium members can see every limit for their plan, with usage, on Account → My Premium under What your plan includes.

What happens at a limit#
When you reach a limit, the dashboard refuses to add another item and tells you why in the Error! message. Reaching a limit doesn't remove anything you already have. To add more, remove an item you no longer need, or upgrade on the Premium page.
If a server loses Premium (cancelled, payment issue, or moved to another server), it goes back to the free limits above. Premium-only features like timed messages stop until Premium is back.
