Usage and limits
How the Delegate usage allowance works, where to check your remaining capacity, and what happens when you reach your limit.
How usage is measured
Delegate draws on an AI model to reason about your requests. Each session consumes capacity from a usage allowance set for your account.
The allowance is expressed in tasks rather than in cost. How much of it a task consumes depends on how much work the task requires — measured in tool calls — and on which model runs it. For what counts as a task, how task complexity is measured, and the number of tasks each license tier supports per month, refer to Methodology for usage estimates.
Where your usage allowance comes from
Delegate requires a user license. Each license tier includes an AI and Agentic usage pool, a monthly allowance shared across UiPath AI and Agentic products, including Autopilot, Agent Development, ScreenPlay Development, Conversational Agents, and Autopilot for Everyone.
For the license-tier sizing table, see Usage pool consumption for Autopilot, Delegate, and Cartographer.
The Express User license has no monthly usage pool at all. Users with this license can use Delegate only after an administrator grants them a top-up.
The allowance is per user and monthly: it resets at the beginning of each month, and unused allowance does not carry over.
Checking your usage
Delegate tells you directly, in the conversation, when you are close to your limit. You can also check it anytime under Settings → General, which shows a monthly usage card with the percentage used and remaining.
What happens when you reach your limit
Delegate notifies you as you approach your allowance limit. If your administrator has granted a top-up, they continue drawing from it once the monthly allowance is spent. Once both the monthly allowance and any top-up are spent, they pause until a top-up is granted or the monthly allowance resets.
