Questions about the quotas
What counts as a listening minute?
Only audio you process into a Chorus lesson (podcasts you transcribe or files you import for subtitles) counts against the transcription allowance. Playing audio you already imported does not consume it.
What are AI characters used for?
Sentence translations, AI explanations, and Echo practice text. Every subtitle sentence you translate or explain consumes characters based on its length. On Pro, AI translation and explanations are unlimited.
Is Pro transcription really capped at 30 hours?
Yes. The 30-hour monthly cap on transcription is a hard limit on every Pro plan. Unlimited on Pro refers only to AI translations and explanations.
Do unused minutes roll over?
No. Transcription time and AI characters reset at the start of each billing month.
