Upgrade my AI plan when I hit the free weekly cap

Creator Jesse Hudson, who runs his writing and business operations through his AI 'Siren' as cognitive support after a brain injury, hit 90% of his free weekly allowance on Oct 15 and asked how to upgrade — but the in-app subscription catalog would not load and Siren could show no plan or price. Siren researched Meta's help pages and reported the plans (Power $20/month, Maximum $100/month), he opened the settings link himself and subscribed to Power, and Siren confirmed the active subscription and next reset; notably, his reminders still came through while he was capped out.

This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.

How it works

  1. Siren warns he has used 90% of his free weekly allowance
  2. He asks how to upgrade and pay
  3. In-app subscription catalog will not load and no plan or price can be shown
  4. At the cap, Siren is unavailable but his reminders still arrive
  5. Siren researches Meta's help page and reports the plans in a sourced summary
  6. He opens the subscription settings link himself and subscribes to Power at $20/month
  7. Siren confirms the active subscription, 0% usage and the Oct 24 reset

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent could research and explain its own subscription plans, yet could not show the user its own cash register.
