Daily assistant limit reached
Recover when Chat reaches its daily message guardrail. The count resets at midnight UTC and is separate from voice minutes and automatic reply drafting.
What you see#
Chat shows the error "Daily assistant limit reached. It resets at midnight UTC." Your message is not sent, and the thread stays exactly as it was.
Default daily limits#
| Plan | Default messages per day |
|---|---|
| Plus | 200 |
| Pro | 500 |
These are the default daily guardrails. They can vary from the defaults, so follow the limit message dreamif.ai shows. Chat requires an active subscription; these limits don't create a free Chat plan.
What counts#
Each message you send in Chat counts as one. A single reply that runs several tool steps still counts as one message, and the step count shown on the tool summary card has nothing to do with this limit.
Voice minutes are metered separately. Talking to dreamif.ai does not spend your daily messages, and typing does not spend voice minutes. If voice is the thing that stopped, see Voice Limit Reached.
When it resets#
At midnight UTC, not midnight where you are. On North American Eastern time, that lands at 7pm or 8pm the previous evening, depending on daylight saving. Nothing you do speeds it up, and there is no way to buy extra messages for the day.
What to do now#
- Wait for the reset if you can. The counter clears on its own.
- Compare the default Plus and Pro limits if you regularly reach the message guardrail. Open Billing from the avatar menu, or see Manage your billing plan.
Other daily caps#
Two more counters reset on the same midnight UTC schedule:
- Draft rewrites default to 50 per day on Plus and 150 on Pro.
- Nurture draft generations default to 50 per day on Plus and 150 on Pro.
None of these appear on the Usage page, which tracks the monthly voice and follow-up meters instead. See Understand the Usage page.
When automatic reply drafting reaches its guardrail#
Automatic reply drafting has a separate daily processing guardrail. During high email volume, some messages can be skipped even while reply drafting is enabled. Those skipped messages aren't automatically retried when the daily counter resets.
If an email still needs a reply, ask Chat to create a reply draft for that email, or write the reply in Gmail. Check the recipient and draft before sending it. Changing your reply rules doesn't reset the daily counter.
