# Overage

> How overage works when you issue beyond your monthly quota.

## What is overage?

Overage lets you keep issuing certificates after your monthly quota is reached. Each extra issuance is charged per unit on your next invoice.

Overage is **enabled by default** on all paid plans. You can disable it or set a monthly limit at **Settings → Billing → Overage**.

## Price per issuance

| Plan           | Without WhatsApp | With WhatsApp    |
| -------------- | ---------------- | ---------------- |
| **Starter**    | R\$0.25 / \$0.05 | R\$0.40 / \$0.08 |
| **Pro**        | —                | R\$0.40 / \$0.08 |
| **Business**   | —                | R\$0.35 / \$0.07 |
| **Enterprise** | —                | Custom           |

<Tip>
  On the Pro plan and above, WhatsApp is included in all issuances, both within quota and in overage. The **"Without WhatsApp"** column applies only to the Starter plan.
</Tip>

## Setting a spend limit

In **Settings → Billing → Overage**, you can:

1. **Enable or disable** overage
2. **Set a monthly spending cap**, such as `R\$20/month`

When overage spending reaches that cap:

* New issuances are **blocked** until the next cycle
* You receive an **email alert** when you hit 80% and 100% of the limit
* Issuances resume when the cycle renews

## How the cycle works

Overage resets on your **billing cycle date** — that is, the day your subscription started, not the first day of the month.

All overage charges are automatically added to your next Stripe invoice.

## Practical example

> You are on the **Pro** plan, with **1,000 issuances per month**.
> In August, you issued **1,247** certificates.
> The **247 overage issuances** cost **R\$0.40** each.
> Total overage for the period: **R\$98.80**.

## Disabling overage

If you disable overage:

* Issuances stop when the quota is reached
* No extra charges are incurred
* Overage can be re-enabled at any time

<Warning>
  If overage is disabled and the quota is reached during an event, the remaining recipients will not receive certificates until the next cycle or until the plan is changed.
