Usage limits
Gordon usage is measured in questions. The number you can ask depends on complexity: questions that involve more context, files, or Docker operations count more toward your limit.
| Tier | Per 4 hours | Per day | Per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base | ~40 | ~100 | ~180 |
| Plus | ~80 | ~200 | ~360 |
| Max | ~200 | ~500 | ~900 |
| Ultra | ~800 | ~2,000 | ~3,600 |
These are estimates and vary based on question complexity.
Usage limits reset at fixed UTC times, not on a sliding window. The 4-hour window resets every 4 hours starting at 00:00 UTC, the daily window resets at 00:00 UTC, and the monthly window resets on the first day of each calendar month at 00:00 UTC.
View your usage
Docker Desktop shows a usage indicator so you can see how close you are to your limit. To get more usage, upgrade your tier.
