Usage Tracking

BestChatBot tracks your monthly widget responses so you always know how much of your plan you’ve used. Usage resets at the beginning of each billing cycle.

Viewing Your Usage

In the dashboard, you’ll find usage information in several places:

Usage Indicator

A quick-glance indicator in the sidebar or top bar shows your current usage as a percentage of your plan limit.

Usage Chart

The Billing section includes a chart showing your response usage over time, so you can see trends and predict when you might approach your limit.

Workspace Distribution

If you have multiple workspaces (multiple widgets), you can see how usage is distributed across them. This helps you identify which sites are most active.

What Counts as a Response

The widget responds to every visitor message — there is no question detector and no skip logic. Each reply counts as one bot response. The following do not count:
ActionCounts as Response?
Widget replies to a visitor messageYes
Testing in the Retrieval Testing pageNo
Rebuilding the knowledge baseNo
Uploading documentsNo
Use the Retrieval Testing page to test as much as you want. It doesn’t affect your response count.

Approaching Your Limit

When you’re nearing your monthly limit:
  • The usage indicator changes color to warn you
  • You can upgrade your plan at any time to get more responses
Once you hit your monthly limit, the widget will stop responding to visitors until the next billing cycle or until you upgrade.
