Haruno Knowledge base

Usage meters and limits

The Usage page shows a customer how much of their plan they have used in the current session and the current week, and what is left of any bonus credit or shared pool.

  • DashboardAvailable

Usage is the first page of the dashboard and the one a customer lands on after signing in. The top of the page shows the person's plan, for example "Solo plan", and below it the limit meters.

The Usage page for a person on the Solo plan.
The Usage page. The heading Usage and the line Solo plan. A card with two meters: Current session (5h) at 42 percent, resetting in 1 hour 48 minutes, and Weekly limit at 31 percent. Below it the Active days calendar and the Daily usage chart.

The two meters

A plan lets a person do a certain amount of work. Haruno spreads that out over time with two limits. Each meter shows how much of that limit has been used, as a percentage.

MeterWhat it measuresWhat the line under it says
Current session (5h)The work done in the current five-hour stretch"Resets in 1h 48m", a countdown. Or "No active session" when nothing was done recently.
Weekly limitThe work done in the current week"Resets" and the date and time.
  • A meter never goes past 100%. When it is full, the person has to wait for it to reset, unless a balance below pays for more.
  • The bar is pink at first, turns gold at 75% and a deep rose at 90%.
  • The round arrows at the top right reload the meters. The grey text beside them says when they were last updated.
  • Learn more about usage limits opens the usage limits page on haruno.ai.
  • When the plan's allowance is used up, every meter says "Plan resets" and the date.

There is no monthly meter on this page. The page shows percentages only. A person never sees dollar amounts for their own use. Organization admins see dollars on the organization page.

When a limit is close

When a limit is nearly full, a gold box appears above the meters, for example "You've used 86.0% of your weekly limit."

A usage warning. The weekly meter is gold because it is over 75%.
The limits card with a gold box at the top: You've used 86.0% of your weekly limit. Below it the session meter at 64 percent and the weekly meter at 86 percent, drawn in gold.

The box only states the use. It has no upgrade button, because plans are not bought on the dashboard today. See Plans and billing.

Bonus credit and the organization pool

Two more meters can appear under a line. They work the other way round: they show how much is left, not how much is used.

  • Bonus credit left appears once a person has bonus credit, for example from a credit code. It is spent after the plan's allowance. The 5-hour and weekly meters do not pace it.
  • Organization pool left appears for members of an organization that has a shared pool. The pool is a balance the organization holds. Members use it after their own plan allowance and after any bonus credit.

When a meter is full but a balance is behind it, the line says so, for example "Resets in 53m · continuing with bonus credit" or "· continuing with your organization's pool". A balance that has run out reads "Fully used."

A member whose session is full. Bonus credit is paying for the work.
The limits card for an organization member. The session meter is full and says it resets in 53 minutes and is continuing with bonus credit. Below a rule, two green meters: Bonus credit left at 64 percent and Organization pool left at 76 percent.

A person with no plan

An account with no active plan sees "No active plan" under the heading and "You don't have an active plan yet." in the card. There is no Choose a plan link, because the plan picker is hidden. A plan is arranged with the team. A promo code can also give one.

An account with no plan.
The Usage page for an account with no plan. The heading Usage and the line No active plan. A card saying You don't have an active plan yet. An empty Daily usage chart.

If the meters cannot be read, the card says "Usage limits aren't set for your account yet." The activity and chart below can still load.

What a customer sees may change

The meters are decided by the Haruno service, not by the dashboard. The names and the five-hour window above are what the dashboard shows today.

The calendar and the chart under the meters are on the next page, Active days and daily usage.
