Thanks — I’m responding to your question about what happens when you see “Your project has exceeded its free tier limit. Please upgrade now.” and whether your agent can still receive data.
Short answer: No — once a free-tier quota is exceeded, new requests and sessions will fail, so your agent will not be able to receive new data or establish new sessions until you upgrade.
Details (concise):
• Free Build plan quotas are hard limits (participant minutes, agent session minutes, inference credits, concurrency, etc.).
• When a quota is hit, new requests/connections are rejected; concurrency limits also cause new connections to fail.
• Upgrading to a paid plan (Ship or Scale) increases quotas and removes those free-tier restrictions so your agent can resume receiving data.
If you’d like, tell me which specific quota you’re hitting (participant minutes, agent session minutes, concurrency, or inference credits) and I’ll confirm the next steps and an estimate of how much capacity you’d need to avoid interruptions.
