Tildi limits how much it will write in a day and in a month, on both plans. This is what one action is, where the two ceilings sit, and the part that catches most people: when exactly they come back.
01
The basics
What counts as an action
One action is one request that goes to Tildi and comes back. Rewrite, Second Read, and Prepare all draw from the same pool: there is not a separate allowance for each.
One rewrite is one action, even though three versions come back.
One Second Read is one action. One Prepare is one action.
Editing a version, copying it, and saving it cost nothing.
Changing the intention and running it again is a second action.
02
The numbers
There are two limits, not one
A daily limit and a monthly one, and you can reach either. The monthly ceiling is the one that surprises people, because it is possible to have actions left today and none left this month.
Free: 3 actions a day, within 10 a month.
Unfold: 20 actions a day, within 250 a month.
Learning your writing voice from samples on Unfold has its own separate pool: 3 a day, within 10 a month.
Being refused for the day does not spend anything from the monthly pool.
03
The part that catches people
They reset at midnight UTC, not your midnight
The daily pool is a fixed UTC day. If you are not on UTC, your actions come back at some other hour of your own day, and the message saying “midnight” is not talking about yours.
The daily count resets at 00:00 UTC.
In New York that is 7pm or 8pm the evening before, depending on the season.
In Los Angeles it is 4pm or 5pm. In Sydney it is late morning.
The monthly count resets on the 1st, also UTC.
04
Extra actions
Bonus actions sit outside the plan
Actions earned by inviting someone are held separately from your plan allowance. They do not raise your daily limit: they are drawn on when the plan pool is empty.
They are listed on your plan page, with the date the first one expires.
They expire, and the plan page warns you when some are within seven days of doing so.
They have no cash value and cannot be transferred or rolled over.

What to do when you hit the wall
Nothing you have written is lost. The room keeps your draft where it is, so the message you were part-way through is still there when the pool refills or you upgrade.
Your draft stays in the composer. Do not retype it.
Copy it somewhere else if you would rather not leave the tab open.
Unfold raises the daily pool from 3 to 20 and the monthly from 10 to 250.
