Grammarly You're Out of Prompts Error
Ongoing Web, Windows, Mac, Chrome, iOS, Android Updated October 21, 2026
Quick answer
The 'You're out of prompts' message means you used your monthly generative AI allowance: 100 on Free, 2,000 on Pro/Business. Prompts refill monthly on your account's refill date; paid users can contact support if they run out early.
Most likely fix: Check your balance.
Symptoms
Generative AI features stop with 'You're out of prompts' and the lightbulb panel shows 0 prompts.
Why it happens
- Monthly prompt cap reached (Free 100, Pro/Business 2,000)
- Refill date tied to when AI was enabled on your account, not your billing date
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Check your balance
- Click the lightbulb icon
- See remaining prompts in the upper-right corner
2. Wait for the monthly refill
- Prompts restore automatically on your refill date
3. Contact support (paid plans)
- Submit a request via support.grammarly.com if you run out before the refill
4. Upgrade if you're on Free
- Pro raises the cap to 2,000 per member; Enterprise is unlimited
