# Analysis limits

> Per-analysis limits, timeouts, and credit consumption across the audit lifecycle.

## What this is

This page documents the constraints that apply to AI analysis operations across the audit lifecycle: timeouts, credit costs, per-plan limits, and strategies to stay within them. Consulting teams running large or complex engagements should review this page before triggering analysis on data-heavy projects.

## Before you start

* Review your current credit balance under your workspace avatar → **Account → Credits** before starting any analysis-intensive step.
* Understand which steps consume credits: web intelligence, document analysis, full AI analysis, memo generation, report generation, and ROI calculation all cost credits. Discovery questionnaire and client profile do not.

## Analysis timeout: 180 seconds

Every AI analysis job has a hard timeout of **180 seconds**. If the synthesis does not complete within that window, the job is marked as timed out and no findings are written.

**What causes timeouts:**

* A very large number of documents (especially large PDFs).
* Long interview transcripts (multiple transcripts each >5,000 words).
* Running analysis with all input types simultaneously on a large project.

**Strategies to avoid timeouts:**

* Keep individual document size under 10 MB and total document count within plan limits.
* Split long transcripts across multiple interview records (see [Interviews](/guide/run-an-audit/interviews)).
* If you have a very large evidence corpus, run analysis in phases: first with documents and discovery, review findings, then add interviews and re-run.

## Credit consumption by step

| Step                    | Credit cost                                      |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| Web intelligence        | 50 credits per run                               |
| Document analysis       | \~5 credits per document (varies by size)        |
| Full AI analysis        | \~20–50 credits per run (varies by input volume) |
| Memo generation         | \~10 credits per memo type                       |
| Final report generation | \~30–60 credits per generation                   |
| Section regeneration    | \~5 credits per section                          |
| ROI calculations        | No additional cost                               |
| Gamma deck generation   | \~15 credits per deck                            |

<Note>
  Credit costs shown are estimates. The actual cost is displayed in the confirmation dialog before you trigger each operation. Costs may vary as the model pipeline is updated.

## Per-plan limits

| Limit                             | Solo      | Team      | Enterprise |
| --------------------------------- | --------- | --------- | ---------- |
| Documents per project             | 10        | 25        | Unlimited  |
| Interview records per project     | 5         | 20        | Unlimited  |
| Opportunities on matrix           | 5         | 20        | Unlimited  |
| Memo types per project            | 2         | All       | All        |
| Report versions                   | 1         | 10        | Unlimited  |
| Concurrent analysis jobs          | 1         | 3         | Unlimited  |
| Web intelligence runs per project | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited  |
| Bundle export                     | No        | Yes       | Yes        |

## What happens when a job times out

* The job is marked **Timed out** in the project dashboard.
* No partial findings are written (analysis is atomic, it either completes or does not).
* Credits for timed-out jobs are **not** automatically refunded. Contact [support@auditynow.com](mailto:support@auditynow.com) if a job timed out due to a platform issue rather than input size.

## Common issues

**My analysis keeps timing out even with a small project.**
Check if there are very large individual documents (over 20 MB). Even a single oversized document can cause a timeout. Remove it, reduce its size, or split it.

**I hit the document limit mid-project.**
Remove documents that are no longer relevant (earlier drafts, duplicates) before adding new ones. Removed documents are not deleted from your workspace, they are unlinked from the project.

**Credits depleted unexpectedly.**
Review the **Credit history** under Account settings. Each operation logs a credit deduction with a timestamp and job type. If you see unexpected charges, contact support.

**Concurrent analysis limit reached.**
Wait for running jobs to complete. The project dashboard shows active jobs across all projects. On Solo plans, you can only run one job at a time across your entire workspace.
