Business Bolt-On Limits
How business-capacity bolt-ons affect the number of businesses an account can use and why downgrade and cancellation warnings mention locked businesses.
Business-capacity bolt-ons increase how many businesses the account is allowed to keep active. They matter most when the account is close to its plan limit or when you are thinking about cancelling one of those add-ons.
How The Limit Is Worked Out
- Base plan allowance: every subscription plan starts with its own business limit.
- Business bolt-on quantity: each extra business unit adds to that base allowance.
- Current business count: this is the real number of businesses currently attached to the account.
Why The Warnings Mention Locked Businesses
If the projected allowance after a cancellation or downgrade would be lower than the current business count, Work Planner warns that some businesses would be locked. Locked means they stay on the account but cannot remain fully available until enough allowance is restored.
Where You See These Warnings
- Cancel Bolt-On popup: when you cancel a business-capacity add-on.
- Subscription plan change flow: when you choose a plan with a lower business allowance.
- Business Selection: the business list can show locked states if the account has already fallen below what is needed.
When To Add More Instead Of Cancelling
If the account is actively using several businesses, it is usually safer to keep the add-on in place or buy more capacity rather than cancelling first and dealing with locked businesses afterwards.
