How a Conversation is counted
A Conversation counts once, in the UTC calendar month it first opens.
- Month 1
A Conversation opens
A visitor starts a chat on one of your products.
Counted - Month 1
It continues
Agent replies; the visitor leaves, and the reply continues by email.
Not counted - Month 1
Closed
The Conversation is resolved and closed.
Not counted - Month 2
It reopens
The customer replies next month; the same Conversation reopens.
Not counted
The number of messages doesn't change that count. Replies, reopening a Closed Conversation and continuing the same chat by email do not count again — even when the reply comes in a later month.
A separate new Conversation counts separately, including one from a customer who has contacted you before.
If you go over your allowance
Incoming messages keep being accepted. Billing shows your usage, a 30-day grace window and plan options. Going over the allowance never blocks messages, never automatically upgrades your plan and never causes a surprise bill. For sustained overage, arrange a higher-volume plan.
