AI Usage Limits

Stride AI has a monthly allowance, so one conversation cannot run up unlimited costs. Most athletes never come near it. This page explains what counts, where to check it, and what happens if you reach it.

What counts#

  • Chats with Stride AI: planning, analysis and questions.
  • Building workouts with AI in the iPhone and Android apps, and building strength workouts anywhere.

AI insights on your activities do not count towards your allowance.

Usage is measured by how much text the AI reads and writes. Long conversations, and requests that make it look through a lot of history, use more than short questions. Everyone has the same allowance, whichever plan they are on.

When it resets#

Your allowance resets every month, on the same day of the month as your subscription renews. It is monthly even if you pay yearly.

Checking your usage#

  • On the web: go to Settings > AI Usage. The same card appears on Settings > Subscription.
  • On iPhone: tap your avatar and choose AI Usage, or choose AI Usage from the … menu in a Stride AI chat.

You will see the current period, the percentage used and how many days until it resets. Once you have used about 70% of your allowance, a reminder appears at the top of the chat: on the web it gives the date your allowance resets, and on iPhone it shows the percentage used, which you can tap for details.

If you reach the limit#

Stride AI stops answering new messages until your allowance resets, and tells you the date. Nothing already on your calendar changes, your planned workouts still go to your devices, and AI insights carry on as normal.

Getting the most from it#

  • Be specific. A clear request with your goal, dates and constraints usually gets a good plan first time.
  • Refine rather than restart. Adjust a plan in the same conversation instead of starting a new one.
  • Plan in blocks. Ask for the next few weeks at a time rather than a whole season of sessions at once.

For coaches#

AI you use in your own chats counts towards your allowance, including chats about one of your athletes or your whole team. Your athletes' allowances are not affected.
