How ClickGuard usage limits work

Your ClickGuard plan includes a monthly ad spend limit: the amount of ad spend ClickGuard protects for you each month. Each plan tier comes with several ad spend levels, so you can pick the one that matches your budget.

What counts toward your usage

Your usage is the ad spend of every connected ad account that has Click detection turned on, from one billing date to the next.

Usage resets every month, even on a quarterly or yearly plan. It resets on the same day each month as your billing date: if your trial ended on the 15th, your usage resets on the 15th of every month.

• When you connect a new ad account, only its ad spend from the moment you connect it counts. Spend from before that doesn't.
• Ad accounts with Click detection turned off don't count. See How to disconnect my ad account to pause one.
• Turning off AI-Driven Threat Monitoring for a website turns off Click detection for all its ad accounts too, unless you keep detecting clicks for your custom rules. See How to add or remove a website.

What happens when you go over your limit

With Auto upgrade ad spend limit turned on, whenever your ad spend goes over your limit, ClickGuard automatically moves you to the next ad spend level within your plan tier, so your protection keeps running. You can turn it on or off in Settings › Billing.

If Auto upgrade ad spend limit is off, or you're already on the highest ad spend level of your plan tier, ClickGuard keeps logging your clicks, but protection is paused: it stops blocking invalid traffic until your monthly usage resets, or until you upgrade to a plan with a higher limit.

To keep your protection running, move to a higher ad spend level or plan tier, or request a custom plan.

Upgrading your plan
