Plans and daily limits
A plan sets how much of PortMula's own work you can use: runs, Terminal messages, and how many automations you keep and how often they run on a schedule. It never limits what your agent spends on services. Your plan, and the limits of both plans side by side, are in Settings.
What the limits cover
- Runs a day. Counted before a run starts, whether you pressed Run now, used Trade, or an automation's schedule fired.
- Terminal messages a day. A separate allowance. A Terminal message does not use up a run.
- Automations. How many you can have, how many may run on a schedule, and how often.
A row in Settings for something that is not live yet says so on its face.
Why there is a limit on messages and runs
Runs and Terminal messages are where PortMula does the thinking, and every one costs PortMula something: the model your agent reasons with is paid for by PortMula, not from your wallet. What your agent buys from services is your own money, and no plan caps it.
When daily limits reset
Daily limits reset at midnight UTC, not at midnight where you are. When you reach one, the action stops and tells you when it resets. Nothing is ever billed as an overage.
What Pro adds, and how you pay
Pro is for an agent that works without you: more automations, more of them on a schedule and more often, and more runs and Terminal messages a day. Exit ladder, Ladder and Rebalance are Pro only. The free plan does everything else, and can also run automations on a schedule, just fewer and less often.
You pay for it in USDC from your agent's wallet, a month or a year at a time and in advance, as the Terms set out. Paying for the Pro plan explains how. Until paying is open, the paid card in Settings is marked soon and there is nothing to press.
What happens when Pro ends
Nothing renews on its own, so Pro runs to the end of the period you paid for. While PortMula's scheduler is running, you get a reminder before it ends and another on the day it ends. Then there is a short grace to pay and keep it. After that the account moves to the free plan. Your agent, wallet, funds, history and automations all stay: your most recently used automations keep running, up to what the free plan allows, and the rest pause. Paying for the Pro plan has the exact days.
If you later switch on more automations than the free plan allows, none of them runs until you pause enough of them, and the Automations page tells you when that is the case.
Withdrawing your funds, and exporting your agent wallet's recovery phrase, keep working on every plan. They are not features of a plan; who holds your keys explains why.
