The Chopy plan

Chopy has its own plan, counted in requests per month. Questions and changes count the same way, on a single counter. It is separate from your transcription credits: a request to Chopy uses no credit.

How many requests per month?

For Universe, fair use means 2,000 requests per month: beyond that, Chopy pauses until the renewal, as with the other plans.

Without a subscription, Chopy is offered as long as the editor is, that is, as long as your account has fewer than 10 conversions: see Edit your sheet music with the editor.

To see where you stand, click Plan, under the Chopy field: the window shows your plan, the requests used and the renewal date.

What counts?

Each question Chopy answers and each change it applies counts as one request. Undos, refused requests and requests not understood don't count.

A question counts when Chopy answers it, a change when it is applied. If a sentence asks for both a change and a question, only the change counts; the question Chopy then offers you (“And my question: …”) counts as a second request, only if you click it.

Requests made on the sheet music and in the piano roll, questions included, share the same plan: there is only one counter per account.

Undoing a Chopy change puts the sheet music or the piano roll back as it was, but doesn't give the request back to your plan: it has already been counted.

These don't count either:

• instant requests, handled directly in your browser (“tempo 90”, “switch to 3/4”, “raise everything by an octave”…), see Wording your requests;
• questions Chopy asks you to clarify a request;
• requests it refuses;
• a request that fails or takes too long.

When does the plan renew?

With a subscription, your Chopy plan resets on the same day as your transcription credits. Without a subscription, it resets on the 1st of each month (UTC). The exact date is shown in the Plan window: “Renews on …”.

And when it is used up?

Once your plan is used up, Chopy pauses until it renews: it no longer answers questions or applies changes. Every other editor tool stays available.

You can keep correcting your sheet music by hand: see Editor features. For more requests, Chopy offers to upgrade you to the next plan, from the Plan window or from the message announcing the pause. To compare plans: Plans and credits.

Why “Lots of requests in a short time”?

To keep Chopy fast for everyone, the number of requests is also limited per hour (30) and per day (100), whatever your plan, questions and changes together. This limit applies to the requests Chopy processes on its servers, including those that end in a question or a refusal and aren't counted against your plan. Instant requests don't count toward it. If this message appears, wait before trying again: nothing has been changed and the request isn't counted against your plan.

The same message appears after five requests unrelated to the sheet music within the same hour, questions included: Chopy then pauses for an hour.

“Chopy is paused for now”

This message signals a general pause of Chopy, for all users. It doesn't affect your plan: every other editor tool stays available, and Chopy comes back on its own.
