# Translation Limit

How the character limit works, and how to reset it for free.

On the free plan, each server can translate **10,000 characters**. When they are used up, iTranslator answers with a **Character limit exceeded** message and stops translating until the counter is reset.

**Do not worry**, there are two easy ways to keep going.

## Solution 1: reset the limit for free

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Run `/checkvote`

iTranslator sends you a link to its page on top.gg, a website that lists Discord bots.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Vote for iTranslator

Log in on top.gg if you are not already, then click **Vote**. It takes a few seconds and it gives the bot visibility.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Run `/checkvote` again

Your characters are reset to 0 and translations start again.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="success" %}
Any member can do this for the whole server, and you can vote again every 12 hours.
{% endhint %}

Log in if needed, then click **Vote**.

Run the command `/checkvote` again.

### Get a reminder

iTranslator can send you a private message when you are able to vote again. Turn it on with `/checkvote-notify`, or with **Vote Reminder** in the **Settings** page of the [dashboard](/fundamentals/dashboard.md#your-account).

## Solution 2: remove the limit with Premium

With [Premium or Pro](/overview/premium.md), the character limit no longer exists. You also get a more accurate translation engine and all 109+ languages.

## Check your usage

Open your server in the [dashboard](/fundamentals/dashboard.md): the **Overview** page shows the characters used and a **Reset for Free!** shortcut. Your personal usage is in the **Settings** page.
