Billing & Usage
How Thriftly plans, metered features, and quotas work, and what happens when you reach a limit
This page covers the mechanics. For plan names, prices, and the concrete numbers in each plan, see the pricing page — it is always current, and these docs deliberately do not repeat figures that would go stale.
Plans belong to your Account, not to a Workspace
Billing follows your Account, and every Workspace you create sits beneath it. There is one plan and one quota however many Workspaces you have.
So the quota an action spends is the same one wherever you performed it. Two Workspaces reposting at once compete for the remaining units rather than each getting their own, which is why the dashboard leads with the Account total and then shows what the current Workspace contributed to it.
Metered features
Some things Thriftly does are counted. A metered feature has a quota on your plan, a count of what you have used in the current period, and a remainder.
Your dashboard shows one usage card per metered feature, so you can see where you stand before you commit to a large batch of work.
The reposts quota is shared
The reposts quota is the one most people run into, and it is a single pool. Everything that creates a replacement Item draws on it:
- Reposts you start by hand from the Wardrobe, one at a time or in bulk.
- Reposts performed by an Auto-Repost Schedule.
A Repost consumes quota when it succeeds, whether the replacement was published or saved as a draft. There is no separate allowance for automation — a busy set of Schedules and a heavy day of manual reposting compete for the same budget.
The extension's Auto-Repost page projects this for you: it estimates whether your remaining reposts cover every scheduled Repost through the end of the period. That estimate counts scheduled reposts only, so leave yourself room for manual ones.
Photo Storage is a standing limit, not a metered one
Photo Storage — the base photos Thriftly keeps for your Items, so that Reposts working from a base do not degrade them — works differently. It is not counted per period and does not reset: it fills as you list Items and frees up as they go. Your dashboard shows it on its own Photo Storage card, and your plan's allowance is on the pricing page.
Periods and resets
Quotas are counted per period, not forever. At the start of each period the count returns to zero and your full allowance is available again.
A period is a month, whichever cadence you pay on. Paying yearly buys the same monthly allowance twelve times over rather than one large yearly pool, so an annual plan resets every month exactly as a monthly one does.
Nothing carries over: an unused allowance does not accumulate into next period, and overuse cannot be borrowed from it. Changing plan mid-period does not reset it either — what you have already used stays used, and the new plan's allowance applies from that moment.
What happens at a limit
Thriftly stops before acting rather than half-performing something on Vinted. What you see depends on where you hit it.
One Repost. The action is refused — "You've used all your reposts this month." — with an Upgrade → action.
A bulk Repost. If your remainder does not cover the selection, the extension warns before starting — "You have N reposts left this month. Only the first N items will be reposted." — and reposts what it can. If the quota runs out partway through, it stops and tells you: "Your repost quota ran out partway through this batch. Remaining items were not reposted."
A scheduled Run. The Run does not happen and you get a notification: "Auto-repost paused — quota exceeded" — "You've used all your reposts this month. Upgrade to keep this schedule running." The Schedule itself is not paused: it stays active, shows the last outcome Quota exceeded under the Failed tab, and starts running again on its own once your quota resets or you upgrade.
In every case nothing was changed on Vinted, and nothing needs undoing.
Some features are not metered at all but simply require a plan — Auto-Repost Schedules, for instance, need an active Reseller or Merchant plan. Those denials name the plan requirement rather than a quota.
Managing your subscription
Open Billing from any Workspace; it is the same Account either way. Your Plan shows what you are on now, with a status of Active, Trialing, Canceled, Past Due, or Unpaid.
For invoices, payment methods, and cancellation, use Visit Billing Portal — "Visit the Billing Portal to manage your subscription and billing. Update or cancel your plan, download your invoices and more."
Billing is yours alone: your Account has exactly one owner, and that is you.
