“Whatever particular problems you or I might have with the state of automations (or formulas, or other advanced features), the fact that there has been no development on them since the advent of the AI pivot is shocking. I was disappointed by the shift in focus to AI features…”
“No it's the other way around, i want to use it, but i just can't due to the limits😅”
“It gets worse I have a Night Agent that I use basically for maintenance so its credits run out at the start of the month but now that I have used those I can't even access normal AI even though I have rolling credits…”
Users are frustrated by new limits on Notion's AI features, restricting the amount of content they can generate. This impacts productivity and workflow for those reliant on the AI tools.

“Too little cost control for AI models. Notion has removed a tooltip that marked cheap models. No customer-friendly way to purchase extra credits for ongoing AI tasks. Whatever you spend extra ends up as a subscription that needs to get canceled. The flow for these…”
“shit. I loved Notion as a product but AI integration has actively been making it worse and now we're paying for it”
“Great at AI ? Lol you do realise Notion is just providing models from Anthropic and OpenAI and Google ? It’s like they have their own bad model 😂😂”
“This company’s aggressive and aimless AI push will be a thorn in its side for years to come, if it doesn’t sink them first. There’s no doubt they’re burning much more than they’re earning on this stuff - and that won’t likely change anytime soon.”
“You are paying a fraction for Notion AI, All models are subsidized by investment money. When are people understanding that?”
“so they said offering unlimited ai usage. i don't know the exact wording, but it seemed to indicate that subscribed users would get unlimited usage, at least within their subscription period. some users paid yearly plan for this reason, but then they put usage cap on them. i don't think that's good to do so. they can be that way for new users. so i'm not saying if it's legal or okay, but that's not the way i'd expect from a 10b company. i wonder if they will be replac”
“This is the most unhinged decision I have seen for a while. I get that Notion would like to focus more AI, which in my case, has been translated in better productivity. But this move contracts exactly what they have built with this new approach. At the end of the day, that's just a greedy move and will hurt them more that any potential benefits of some ""Notion credits"" they will sell: this annihilates the trust in their customer base. We should all raise this in a ticke”
“After they introduced ai usage limit I canceled my plan in a month, even though they advertised the business plan with unlimited ai usage and that was one of the reasons I've bought the yearly plan in sept 2025. Now they're giving me 50% discount but I feel like what's done is done. I don't think Notion is worth it for me anymore. They're just another company who changes the terms around what they already sold you.”
“So they're subsidising AI use less? This isn't any kind of surprise to anyone following along with this...”
Yeah, exactly what he's talking about, that kinda stupid.
“Hi guys, when I started using Notion and Notion AI together, I was having fun just clicking on the biggest model, as I learnt the system. This was at the start of 2026. But now there are new usage quotas, and I've gone through a lot of learning about models and costs. Keep in mind, this info is current as of 21st Sept 2026. Your daily driver should be GLM 5.3 Flash (Max) Or if you dislike/distrust Chinese models, GPT-5. 6 Luna (Max) How I have come to this conclusion is by using two differen”
They're actually telling you to pay, and to stop begging for free AI.
“Both windows are still in notion's own docs, so this reads more like display than a change to the trial. the help page on the AI allowance says usage is measured in a six-hour window and a monthly window. it also says both show up under Settings, Notion AI, Usage. if the rolling one is gone there too, that's worth a ticket with a screenshot.”
“I have two admin accounts with workspaces on Business trials. A couple of days ago, both still showed a rolling AI usage allowance alongside the monthly allowance. Now, both only show the monthly allowance. I hadn’t used AI on either account this month before noticing the change. When I started using it afterward, the monthly allowance seemed to drain just as quickly as the rolling allowance used to. It honestly feels like the old rolling allowance has been turned into a monthly allowance, witho”
“On the free version here. Does anyone know if Notion still resets the quota if you stop using AI for awhile? Mine has been stuck on "wait after 5 hours" for days. submitted by /u/BurnBabyBurrrn [link] [comments]”
“Yeah I'm a little unhappy with the pricing structure. I would be fine if they just just stuck with what they stated. This whole I paid to have ai and now I'm running into usage limits and on top of it I'm also paying for agents which then means additional credits. I'm paying for all of this out of my pocket and it's not even necessarily the cost per token.”
“Once upon a time consumers had protections. There were reasonable expectations and the like. Now this. Flaky in the extreme, discounted and deceptive.”
“I've been waiting to hear what you were doing... Meanwhile I took my heavily modified SuperAgentIO to a local server alongside Obsidian. Notion and their one week notice can kiss my ass”
“I just suddenly got hit by this notification. Tasks that are automated with AI suddenly stalled for a week. How is this possible if I'm already limited by daily limits? Shouldn't daily limits equate to the full monthly limit? If not, am I strange for thinking that's nonsensical? submitted by /u/Bopbopbadop [link] [comments]”
“Guys, Notion AI is designed for enterprise customers who have too much money and are willing to spend a lot on it, it's that simple. For consumers, a Claude MCP connection is the way to go.”
Me taking u to court?, yaa , just to irritate u further😅😅😅
“The free plan ought to do just fine...and if you hit limits on Claude...you could try Gemini (I don't think it's even possible to hit limits with Gemini...like yes it's possible...but I've personally never heard someone hit limits with Gemini)”
“I’m trying to understand the monthly usage allowance for regular Notion AI, i.e. normal Notion AI / Notion Agent usage in chat and pages, not Custom Agents. In Settings → Notion AI → Usage, my workspace shows that I’ve used around 66% of my monthly allowance, resetting on 2 September. But I can only see the percentage, not the actual number of credits behind it. I’m specifically trying to work out: How many Notion credits is the monthly allowance for regular Notion AI? For people who have gone o”
“The frustrating part is not just a cap. It is finding out that a workflow you use to recover decisions or follow-ups is no longer predictable. I would evaluate any replacement on the record it leaves behind: can you get back to the speaker and timestamp, correct a note before sharing it, and search older conversations without treating a summary as the only evidence? At Loreo.io , we built around that source layer, so important actions can resolve back to the original audio. That makes usage limi”
“Whatever particular problems you or I might have with the state of automations (or formulas, or other advanced features), the fact that there has been no development on them since the advent of the AI pivot is shocking. I was disappointed by the shift in focus to AI features, but when it happened I expected Notion to continue at least some development of its core product . But I honestly can't remember the last time that a major- or even minor- feature was released that wasn't completely”
“I’ve tried that before and it won’t trigger the second automation, but if it works for you, that is cool.”
“Yes, but in here the automation 2 trigger is a Checkbox being checked by automation 1 and it works.”
“Bro I get it, actually i am saying about the limits in the paid plan, if it was free i wouldn't have bothered, i use it, it's just tooo low for anyone to meaningfuly use it”
“How much money are you paying Notion per month? The amount you're paying your government and your bank is obviously not relevant to the question.”
“Ya , but still they should atleast make some genuine limitations for something the customer pays, ryt”
Btw notion ai is not included in free version of the notion

“I agree that the how is a major problem, but I disagree on the idea that introducing it at all isnt a problem. Notion has every right to not renew my annual plan with unlimited AI when **what I paid for**, one entire year in advance, is used up. I have no problem with them pulling the plug when the service I paid for is at the end of the timeline I pre-paid for. But until then, well...it is a more than a problem, it's a violation of a contract. It is deeply exploitive. They made a choice to”
“I agree Notion AI is more effective and workspace-wide than what is portrayed on here”
“Oh I’d never defend their budgets. I just think their AI is significantly better than what most people believe, especially in this sub. As for their money, I couldn’t care less.”
“This is the cyclical belt tightening, just ai flavored. Except now we get to punch a new hole in the belt!”
“Defending multi-billion dollar companies' budgets almost never sits well with me well hahaha. There should just be an option for anyone to buy unlimited or near-unlimited AI on its own at a price that covers their cost. Why restrict everyone?”
“I think I'll do this instead of Notion AI and downgrade from Business to Plus. Appreciate it”
“Yeah they've changed the pricing structure and AI billing very frequently and abruptly. I'm just wondering if they could have added a new pricing tier for marathon AI users instead of restricting all Business and Enterprise customers which seems stupid”
Exactly. This business practice often makes consumers sus lol
“True but change was sneakily implemented and at the least they have not introduced a new price tier with higher usage/less limits or no limits to provide consumers with options”
“It's not that I don't like it, it's just more useful to have Claude do everything since it has full context across everything.”
“The fact that Notion is taking away access to AI halfway through subscription and there is no opt out option whatsoever is very annoying since I too have experienced it before. Now, I am splitting up my AI work into segments, using cheaper LLM APIs for writing and different platforms for image generation mage. space was the latter that I came across.”
“Felt the same way, and honestly this is exactly why I've stopped building my setup around any one tool's generosity. In an always-changing environment — pricing models shift, limits appear overnight, features get metered — the thing that keeps you sane is an agnostic resource ladder. The tool is never the point. The work is the point. You just pick the cheapest rung that can actually do the job. Here's how mine works. Seven tiers, cheapest first: Tier 0 — Notion native automations. F”
“I have frequently been in this sub as one of Notion's most ardent defenders, especially as it relates to their AI product. And I understand why they're introducing usage limits. The problem isn't that they're introducing usage limits, it's HOW they introduced usage limits. One week notice for a change this fundamental and material is completely unreasonable and a total breach of trust. When I signed up for an annual business plan, it was under the assumption that it was an un”
“We use Claude + Notion. We never use the Notion Ai. Very few limitations, and Claude connects to everything else.”
“I wanted to share some feedback on the recent introduction of rolling usage limits for Notion AI and hear what others think. When Notion first rolled out AI across workspaces, it was free, improving quickly and available to everyone without restriction. Given that history, it's been surprising to see paid tiers like Business (my current plan) and Enterprise now subject to usage caps on Notion Agent, chat and AI meeting notes. I much preferred being able to use Notion AI consistently, without”
