# Fair Use

Free access is protected by lightweight, anonymous limits so the network stays available to everyone.

### Daily message allowance

Each visitor gets a **daily allowance of free messages**. When you reach it:

* the chat input is disabled with a clear message,
* the allowance resets the next day (UTC),
* you can return then — or contribute a node to expand capacity for all.

The chat shows how many messages you have left so you're never surprised.

### Burst protection

In addition to the daily allowance, a short-window rate limit prevents rapid-fire bursts that would crowd out other users. If you send too fast, you'll be asked to wait a moment.

### Enforced anonymously

Limits are enforced on coarse, anonymous signals — **no account or personal data** is required or collected to apply them. This keeps the no-sign-ups promise intact.

### Why limits exist

Capacity is real and finite at any moment (it's donated GPUs, after all). Fair-use limits ensure that free access is shared broadly rather than consumed by a few heavy users or abused by automated traffic.

### Want more throughput?

The intended path to more capacity isn't a paywall — it's participation. **Run a node** and you directly increase the network's headroom for everyone, yourself included.
