# Costs and Limits At the moment our services are free to the community, however we apply usage limits to manage overall costs and guarantee fair usage for everyone in the Brown community. ## Transcribe ### Per-user limit (daily) Each user can upload and transcribe **20 hours** of audio/video files each day. Once the limit is reached, the users will not be able to submit transcription jobs. **This limit resets at 0:00 UTC each day.** ### System-wide limit Transcribe does not have any system-wide limit at the moment. ## LibreChat ### Individual Limits (Monthly) Individuals have a budget of **twenty dollars ($20) per month**. In practice, this budget is converted into tokens. Models have different costs. We label them in the UI with three different categories, $, $$, $$$ to provide guidance on the cost of the model. Cost for the month align with calendar months **(limits reset on the 1st of each month)**. ### System wide limit (Monthly) We have total budget allocated to the system. Users will not be able to use the system if they have reached their individual limit, or if as an university we have reached the system limit. Cost for the month align with calendar months (limits reset on the 1st of each month). ### Purchasing additional tokens We do not have that capability at this time. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
