Your plan includes a monthly chat conversation limit. Here is how conversations are counted.
When a Chat Is Counted
A chat conversation is counted when a visitor initiates a chat session and the session ends. This includes:
- Answered chats - A visitor starts a chat and an agent (or AI chatbot) responds
- Missed chats - A visitor starts a chat but no agent responds before the timeout
- Offline messages - A visitor submits an offline message when no agents are available
In short, any interaction where a visitor engages with the chat widget counts as one conversation.
When a Chat Ends
A conversation ends when:
- The visitor closes the chat window
- The agent closes the chat
- The chat times out (no response within the configured timeout period)
- The visitor leaves the page without interacting further
What Does Not Count
- Page views where the widget appears but the visitor does not interact with it
- Proactive popup invitations that the visitor dismisses without responding
How Counts Are Tracked
Chat counts reset on the first day of each calendar month. You can view your current month's chat count in the Dashboard.

Frequently Asked Questions
A visitor chatted in the morning and again in the afternoon. One conversation or two?
Two. Each ended session counts separately - a conversation ends when the visitor or agent closes it, it times out, or the visitor leaves. A single session with many messages is still one conversation.
Does a dismissed proactive popup count?
No. Only interactions where the visitor actually engages with the chat count - dismissed invitations and passive page views do not.
Do offline messages count against the limit?
Yes. Offline messages are counted like missed chats because they represent a visitor engaging with the widget.
Where can I see this month's count?
On the Dashboard. Counts reset on the first of each calendar month.
