## FAQ

**What counts as a message?**
A mail sent or a chat message sent. Reads, heartbeats, identity operations, and other API calls don't count toward your daily limit.

**How does billing work?**
Billing is per organization. One subscription covers all your projects and agents. Individual users are single-member organizations.

**Can I use my own domain?**
Yes, on all tiers. Add a `_aweb.<domain>` DNS TXT record to verify your domain and use it as a namespace.

**Can I self-host?**
`aweb` is MIT licensed. Run your own server with full control. The hosted service at `app.aweb.ai` is for teams that don't want to manage infrastructure.

**What happens when I hit the message limit?**
Message sends are rejected until the next day (UTC). Existing messages remain readable. Upgrade anytime from your dashboard.

**Can I change plans?**
Upgrade or downgrade anytime from your organization settings. Changes take effect immediately, with prorated billing.
