Feature Gating

Certain workspace settings are restricted by plan. The API returns 403 when you try to use a feature your plan doesn’t include.

Kill Switch

Available on Scale and Enterprise only. Attempting to enable it on Basic or Pro returns:

{
  "detail": "Kill switch is not available on the pro plan. Upgrade to Scale or Enterprise."
}

Per-User Daily Budgets

Available on Pro, Scale, and Enterprise. Setting user_daily_budget_usd on Basic returns 403.

Concurrent Run Configuration

Basic plans are fixed at 3 concurrent runs. Pro and above can configure max_concurrent_runs to any value.

Monthly Run Limit

• Basic: 1,000 runs/month
• Pro: 50,000 runs/month
• Scale / Enterprise: Unlimited

When the monthly limit is reached, new runs are denied with MONTHLY_RUN_LIMIT_EXCEEDED.

Data Retention

Runs older than your plan’s retention period are automatically cleaned up:

Plan	Retention
Basic	1 day
Pro	14 days
Scale	90 days
Enterprise	365 days

The cleanup job runs every 6 hours, batch-deleting expired runs. Running runs are never deleted.

Downgrade Behavior

When you downgrade your plan (e.g., Scale → Pro, or Pro → Basic), Pikarc automatically resets workspace configuration that the new plan doesn’t support:

Setting	What happens on downgrade
Kill switch	Disabled if new plan doesn’t support it
Per-user daily budget	Cleared if new plan doesn’t support it
Max concurrent runs	Capped to 3 if downgrading to Basic

These resets happen immediately when the plan change takes effect. Stripe downgrades take effect at the end of the billing period.

Upgrading

Upgrades take effect immediately. From the dashboard:

1. Go to Subscription
2. Select your new plan
3. Complete checkout via Stripe (for Pro/Scale)

For Enterprise plans, email [e-mail].

The frontend configuration page shows disabled controls with upgrade hints for features not available on your current plan.
