Did a Technical Error Use Up My Question?
Short answer: your daily question is counted the moment you submit it, even if MAX returns an error or doesn't finish responding. We know that's frustrating when it happens — here's how it works and what you can do.
Why a Question Counts Even on an Error
When you hit send, MAX immediately reserves the computing power needed to answer you — that's the moment your question counts, not when the response comes back. This is how scaled AI platforms work, and it keeps the daily limit fair: otherwise a single error could be used to bypass it by retrying, which wouldn't be fair to everyone sharing MAX.
This also applies inside one continuous conversation — every message you send counts as its own question, whether it's a new topic or a follow-up in the same chat.
When Does My Daily Count Reset?
All daily allowances, including the fair usage cap on unlimited plans, reset at midnight in your local time zone. So if you hit an error, you'll have a fresh count the next day.
What If MAX Was Down for Everyone?
If MAX was experiencing a wider outage at the time of your question, our team can sometimes help. Ask for human support in the chat, or email [email protected] with roughly what time it happened, and we'll take a look. Goodwill question restorations are made at our discretion and aren't guaranteed, but we're always happy to check.
Want to Stop Hitting the Limit?
If you'd like more room to ask, MAX Essential and Oracle Unlimited both offer unlimited questions per day (subject to the fair usage note below), so you're not waiting on a daily reset. You can explore plans at greatawakener.com/become-member.
A Note on "Unlimited" (Fair Usage)
Our unlimited plans (MAX Essential and Oracle Unlimited) are unlimited for normal, everyday use, subject to a fair usage cap of 100 questions per day that guards against automated or unusually high-volume activity well beyond typical personal use. The vast majority of members will never come close to this in ordinary use. The fair usage counter resets at midnight in your local time zone.
This applies per our Terms and Conditions.
Still Need Help?
