What is a task

A task is one call to any PaidHelm tool: one report, one audit query, one change, one campaign creation step. plan_usage and upgrade_plan are free. Conversations typically use two to five tasks; a full campaign build uses eight to twelve.

Cycle

Your cycle starts the day you create the account (Free) or the day you subscribe (paid) and renews every 30 days, or yearly for annual plans. The counter resets at renewal.

Reaching the quota

The assistant warns you at 80% and 100%. At 100% every tool returns a short message with your renewal date and a personal upgrade link. Nothing else changes: your connection, accounts and history stay intact.

Upgrading from the chat

Upgrade me to Pro.

upgrade_plan creates a Paddle checkout pre-filled with your email and returns the link. After payment, Paddle notifies PaidHelm and your plan and quota update within seconds; no reconnection needed. Downgrades take effect at the end of the paid period.

Cancelling

Use the link in your Paddle receipt email or write to support@paidhelm.com. Your plan stays active until the end of the paid period and then falls back to Free. See the refund policy for the 7-day guarantee on the first charge.

## FAQ

**Does a failed call count?**

A call that fails because of a Google Ads API error (for example an invalid ID) still counts, because it was executed. Calls rejected by PaidHelm before reaching Google, such as over quota, do not count.

**Do unused tasks roll over?**

No. The counter resets at each renewal.

**How do I see my usage without the chat?**

Open the portal at mcp.paidhelm.com/googleads/portal. It shows plan, tasks used and renewal date.
