How statuses are assigned

Definition and scope

What this capability means

This row records rate and quota boundaries around the harness: requests, tokens, agent runs, active sandboxes, sub-agent concurrency, tool calls, connectors, uploads, media minutes, storage, and background compute. Each number needs a plan, model, user or organization scope, and reset window.

Evidence should state whether pools are shared, whether limits are fixed or dynamic, what meters or headers reveal, retry and backoff guidance, priority tiers, overage behavior, and whether work queues, degrades, or fails at the boundary. “Reasonable use” without an inspectable limit is partial disclosure.

Evidence
  1. 1. Evidence checked 2026-08-28: Cursor documents two monthly usage pools, real-time remaining allowance, a billing-cycle reset with no rollover, editor notification at the boundary, and optional on-demand usage. The numeric included allowance varies by plan and is not stated on the reviewed page.
  2. 2. Evidence checked 2026-08-28: GitHub Copilot CLI documents plan-based concurrent-subagent limits of 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32, a global session-tree maximum of 32, and rejection of new child requests until capacity becomes available. These are subagent quotas, not the complete request, token, tool, or premium-request envelope.
  3. 3. Evidence checked 2026-08-28: OpenAI publishes plan- and model-specific estimated local-message ranges per five-hour window for ChatGPT Work and Codex, documents that local and cloud tasks share the window, notes additional weekly limits, and describes credit-based continuation. The ranges vary with task complexity and are not hard per-message guarantees.
