Out of AI recipe sessions: the free-plan limit

The free plan includes three AI recipe sessions a month — here's what counts, when it resets, and what Maker unlocks.

On the free plan, Ellie builds 3 recipes a month. A counter shows how many you have left, and when you reach zero you'll hit a soft-wall screen instead of a new generation.


What counts as a session

Each successful recipe generation uses one session.

Heads up: Refines count too. When you ask Ellie to adjust a recipe — or answer her clarification questions to re-generate — that's another generation against your monthly count, not just brand-new recipes.


When it resets

Your count refills at the start of each month, and you're back to three.


Lifting the cap

Upgrading to Maker removes the monthly limit entirely. See Free plan limits & what upgrading unlocks for everything a plan changes.
