On the Free Forever plan, every graded submission counts against a monthly limit of 500 submissions, which resets on the 1st of each month. Immediate Feedback works differently: it reserves quota for every student attempt up front, so the cost is students multiplied by attempts. Paid school or district plans are unlimited.
What counts toward my quota?
Quota is about AI-graded submissions, not how many students you have. Each time EnlightenAI generates feedback for a submission, that counts as one. This includes feedback you generate one at a time and feedback you create in bulk with Generate All.
Creating an assignment, students submitting work, and you reviewing or editing existing feedback do not consume quota. Only the act of generating AI feedback does.
How does Immediate Feedback use quota?
Immediate Feedback charges quota per student, per attempt, reserved when you publish the assignment. The math is simple:
25 students with 3 attempts each = 75 submissions
10 students with 2 attempts each = 20 submissions
If you later add more feedback rounds to an Immediate Feedback assignment, that also charges quota: the number of students multiplied by the number of new attempts you add. If you do not have enough quota left, EnlightenAI will tell you how many more submissions you need before you can publish.
When does my quota reset?
On the Free Forever plan, your count resets to a fresh 500 submissions at the start of each calendar month (the 1st). Unused submissions do not roll over.
New accounts begin with a free trial (30 days) that includes unlimited submissions. When the trial ends, the account moves to Free Forever with the standard 500-per-month limit.
Who has unlimited submissions?
Teachers in a paid school or district plan have unlimited submissions and no monthly cap. Some accounts may also have an extended access grant that lifts the limit. If your school is on a paid plan, you will not see quota warnings.
