04/15/2026, 12:04 PMThanks — you're asking whether LiveKit offers a plan that lets you exceed concurrency limits (not block new connections) and simply charges overage.
LiveKit does not offer concurrency overage charging. Concurrency limits are enforced as caps, and repeatedly exceeding hard or soft usage limits can lead to account actions. Usage-based overage billing exists for resources like minutes or bandwidth, but there is no plan that automatically allows unlimited concurrency and bills overage instead of blocking connections.
If you need higher concurrency, you can upgrade to a plan with larger limits or request an increase to your concurrency limits via the dashboard. Would you like help identifying which plan fits your expected peak concurrency or preparing a request for higher limits?

04/15/2026, 12:05 PMThanks — you're asking how much it costs to add extra concurrent connections via the dashboard.
There is no published per-connection price. LiveKit plans include set concurrency limits (Build/Ship/Scale/Enterprise) and you can request higher limits through the dashboard; increases are handled as custom quotes (Enterprise-style or dashboard-requested increases).
Would you like me to:
• help identify which plan best matches your peak concurrency, or
• prepare the details you should include when requesting a quota increase (current plan, peak concurrency, expected growth)? Sources: Pricing | LiveKit | https://livekit.com/pricing.md|, with interactive elements

04/15/2026, 12:07 PMYou're asking whether the Scale plan's "starts at 50, up to 600" means you get up to 600 automatically or must pay for additional connections up to 600.
It does not auto-provision free additional concurrency. The Scale plan starts with a lower included concurrency (50) and can be increased up to 600 by requesting higher limits via the dashboard — those increases are handled as custom/quoted capacity. Concurrency is enforced as a cap (not automatically billed as overage), so you'll need to request and approve the increase (which may incur additional cost).
Would you like help drafting the information to include with your dashboard quota request (current plan, current peak, desired peak, expected growth)?

04/15/2026, 12:07 PMShort answer: LiveKit does not publish a fixed price for increasing concurrency via the dashboard. Increases are handled as custom quota requests/quotes, not automatic per-connection charges.
What this means for you:
• The Scale plan "starts at 50, up to 600" means you must request higher concurrency through the dashboard to reach amounts above the included level.
• Those increases are approved and priced case-by-case (custom quote), not auto-granted or billed per-connection as a published rate.
Would you like help drafting the quota request? If so, please tell me:
• your current plan,
• current peak concurrency,
• desired concurrency (target),
• expected growth timeline., with interactive elements
