Plans, limits, and billing
Every CronJobPro plan sets three limits that shape how many jobs you can run and how often. This guide explains those limits, what happens when you reach them, how downgrading behaves, and where to upgrade or find your invoices.
The three plan limits
Each plan caps three things. Free plans allow the least; higher plans allow more. The exact numbers for your plan are shown on the pricing page and in your billing settings.
| Limit | What it means |
|---|---|
| Active jobs | How many jobs can be enabled and running at the same time. |
| Daily runs | How many executions you can use per day, counted in UTC. The counter resets at midnight UTC. |
| Minimum interval | The shortest schedule you can set, so jobs cannot run more frequently than your plan allows. |
Daily runs are counted in UTC, not your local time or your job timezone. A job that runs at 23:00 in your timezone may count toward a different UTC day than you expect.
Run now counts toward your daily runs
When you trigger a job manually with Run now, whether from the dashboard or the API, that execution counts toward your daily run quota just like a scheduled run. Keep this in mind if you are testing a job repeatedly on a small plan.
What happens when you hit a limit
- Active-job cap reached: creating or enabling another job is blocked until you disable an existing job or upgrade.
- Daily-run cap reached: any further runs that day are skipped, and the quota resets at midnight UTC. Scheduled runs simply do not fire once you are out of quota.
- Minimum interval: schedules faster than your plan allows are not accepted when you save the job.
What happens when you downgrade
If you move to a lower plan, CronJobPro brings your account within the new limits automatically and without deleting anything.
- Jobs over the new active-job cap are paused, starting with the newest jobs first.
- Jobs scheduled more frequently than the new minimum interval are also paused.
- Nothing is deleted. Paused jobs keep their settings, and you can re-enable them after upgrading again or after freeing up capacity.
After a downgrade, check which jobs were paused so a critical schedule does not stop running unnoticed. Re-enable the ones you need or upgrade to restore capacity.
