# 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 %}

Run the command `/checkvote`.

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.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.itranslator.app/fundamentals/translation-limit.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
