I've reached my active client limit (even after archiving or deleting clients)

A client counts toward your limit for up to 3 months after their last action, even if archived or deleted. Here's why you're still over the limit and how to unlock it.

Written by Samuel

💡 In short: your limit counts clients who were active in the last 3 months, not the clients you see in your list today. Archiving or deleting a client doesn't free up a spot right away.


What counts toward your limit

Your plan includes a number of active clients. An active client is a client who signed in or did an action, or for whom you did an action, in the last 3 months.

A client keeps counting toward your limit for up to 3 months after their last action, even if you archive or delete them. See how to archive or delete a client.

An example

Your plan allows 5 active clients. Over the last 3 months, you worked with 12 clients. Today, you delete 8 of them and 4 are left in your list.

You're still over your limit: the 8 deleted clients still count, since they were active in the last 3 months. Each one will stop counting 3 months after their last action.


What happens at the limit

When the limit is reached, creating new clients is blocked. It unlocks:

  • as soon as you switch to a plan with a higher limit;

  • or when enough clients no longer count as active (no action for 3 months).


Change your plan

To keep adding clients right away, choose a plan with a higher limit in your account's billing.

The steps are detailed in the article How to change your plan.

Frequently asked questions

I only have 2 (or 3, or 5) clients in my list, but Hexfit says I've reached my limit. Why? Your limit counts all active clients from the last 3 months, including those you've archived or deleted since. Your current list can therefore be shorter than your number of active clients.

I deleted my archived clients and I still can't create a client. That's normal: a deleted client still counts for up to 3 months after their last action. To create clients right away, switch to a plan with a higher limit.

Do archived clients count toward my limit? Yes, if they were active in the last 3 months. They stop counting 3 months after their last action.
