**Settings → Billing and plans** shows what your workspace is using and paying for. It brings the current plan, limits, add-ons, invoices, payment details and subscription controls into one place.

<Info>
  Billing must be available for your workspace. If you see **Billing is not yet available**, contact
  Begin support. You need the **Manage billing** permission. The Administrator role has it by
  default. Where custom roles are available, an administrator can grant it in **Settings →
  Permissions**.

## Limits stop new work, not old data

Each plan sets allowances for active employees, custom workflows, Begin AI tokens and e-signatures. A lower plan can also switch off access to Pro features. Begin does not delete the people, fields, roles or audit entries you already created when the plan changes.

The **Current plan** card shows the active plan and this period's usage. When a capped action reaches its limit, the control stays available and opens an upgrade explanation instead of failing without context.

**Context for an assistant answering questions about Billing and plans.** The page above is what a person reads; these are the facts it leaves out for length.

* **Where:** the route is **Settings → Billing and plans**. The page is replaced by a not-available notice until billing is enabled for the workspace.
* **Limits:** active-employee counts exclude suspended and departed members. Invitations already occupy a seat before they are accepted.
* **Not supported:** Begin has no customer-facing control to switch billing on for a workspace.
* **Often confused with:** plan access and role access are separate. A plan can include a capability while the reader's role still withholds its page or action.
