Each workspace has its own plan, its own limits and its own credit balance, and whoever owns the workspace pays for it. ## Your personal workspace Every account gets one workspace when it is created: your personal workspace. It is the only free workspace you can have. It starts on Free, and you can upgrade it like any other. Your free workspace cannot be deleted. It goes away only with your account. You can give it to someone else, and then you get a new, empty free workspace; see [Transferring ownership](https://docs.nemu.cc/console/workspaces.md#transferring-ownership). ## Every other workspace is paid Any workspace you create after your personal one has its own paid plan, Starter, Pro or Max, chosen when you create it. Creating one opens checkout for that plan, and the workspace becomes usable once checkout completes. A workspace that was created but never paid for is **unpaid**, shown as having no plan yet. It is read only like a paused workspace, see [What a paused workspace can do](#what-a-paused-workspace-can-do), until its owner completes checkout. If you cancel the checkout, the billing page offers **Try again** or **Delete this workspace**. You can have at most 2 workspaces waiting for a plan at once. Pay for one or delete it before you create another. A workspace that was never paid for is deleted quietly after 7 days without a plan. It gets no 90 day retention and no reminder emails, because nothing was ever paid for in it. A workspace that was paid for at some point follows [When a plan ends](#when-a-plan-ends) instead. There is no limit on how many workspaces you own. Plans do not cap it. Each workspace is its own subscription. ## Upgrading changes one workspace Upgrading a workspace buys a plan for that workspace and nothing else. Your other workspaces keep their own plans. Moving one workspace to Pro does not give Pro limits to your personal workspace, and the other way round. ## Members Joining a workspace is free, and you can join as many as you are invited to. Members work on the workspace's plan and the owner pays. Each plan caps how many people a workspace can hold: | | Free | Starter | Pro | Max | Enterprise | | - | -: | -: | -: | -: | -: | | Members per workspace | 1 | 5 | 25 | 100 | unlimited | An invite is refused when it is created if the workspace is already at its cap. ## What is counted per workspace Every limit in [Plans](https://docs.nemu.cc/plans.md) is counted per workspace against that workspace's plan: requests a minute, a day and a month, concurrent requests, providers, models, quota rules, prompts, mappings, workflows, Context, vaults, web searches, uploads, images and the Computer. Ten API keys in one workspace share one allowance rather than getting ten. Two workspaces each get their own. Abuse protections that guard sign-in, support and unauthenticated traffic stay per person. ## Credits Each workspace has its own [credit](https://docs.nemu.cc/computer/credits.md) balance. A workspace's plan grants that workspace its monthly credits, and everyone working in it spends from that balance. Credits never move between workspaces. ## When a plan ends When a paid plan is not renewed, for example because a payment fails or the subscription was cancelled, the workspace goes through these stages. | Stage | How long | What works | | - | - | - | | Grace | 7 days after the paid period ends | Everything. The console and chat show a banner. | | Personal workspace after grace | Until you upgrade again | It drops to Free. Anything above the Free limits is disabled, and nothing is deleted. | | Any other workspace after grace | 90 days | It is paused, see below. | | Deleted | After 90 days paused | The workspace and everything in it is deleted. | The owner gets an email 30 days, 7 days and 1 day before a paused workspace is deleted. Renewing the plan at any point before then restores everything as it was. When a workspace is deleted, automatically or by its owner, its billing is cancelled first. ## What a paused workspace can do A **paused** workspace, and an unpaid one, is read only everywhere: in the console, in the management API, in chat and on the Computer. | Still works | Refused | | - | - | | Opening it and reading everything in it | Any change in the console | | Exporting your data | `POST`, `PUT` and `PATCH` in the management API | | Billing: renewing, changing or cancelling the plan | Inference and `/reader` on the gateway | | Deleting the workspace, when deleting is allowed | Sending a chat message | | Removing members, and leaving | Starting the Computer editor | | Revoking API keys | Serving previews and published sites | On the Computer the editor will not start, and a preview or published site at `.nemu.page` shows a "This workspace is paused" page instead of the project. ### The workspace\_paused error Requests against a paused or unpaid workspace are refused with HTTP `402` and the code `workspace_paused`. That applies to inference and `/reader` on api.nemu.cc, to every management API write and to Context and vault writes on app.nemu.cc, and to sending a message in chat. From the gateway the body is: ```json theme={null} { "error": { "message": "This workspace is paused. Its owner can renew the plan in the console to use it again.", "type": "workspace_paused", "code": "workspace_paused" } } ``` The `x-nemu-error-origin` header is `nemu`. Retrying does not help: the owner has to renew the plan. ## Billing in the console **Settings**, **Billing** shows the plan of the workspace you have selected. To open another workspace's billing directly, add `?workspace=` to the address. Only the workspace owner can change, cancel or upgrade its plan. Other members see the plan and who pays for it. Upgrade links can name a workspace and a plan, for example `https://app.nemu.cc/upgrade?workspace=&plan=pro`. Upgrades apply immediately, including the higher credit allowance. Downgrades are scheduled for the end of the current period. Cancelling leaves the plan active until the period ends, and then the stages above begin.
