  1. Then, choose the length of this period (Figure 80, “Period and Start Date” (1)).

    You can set the interval to Monthly or Yearly. Alternatively, you can choose the option None to set a limit that is not tied to a period.

  2. Choose when a new user limit period starts (Figure 80, “Period and Start Date” (2)).

    Your options depend on the interval you have chosen. If you have selected None, you can skip this step.

  1. To confirm your changes, click on the button Save.

To disable the user limit again, switch the toggle button for Enable DeepL User Quota to Off again.

The settings are hidden.

To confirm your changes, click on the button Save.

Important

To use the DeepL integration, you need a subscription for DeepL.

Important

empower® checks if the limit has been exceeded before starting a translation. Therefore, a user can still exceed the limit during an ongoing translation because a started translation process cannot be aborted.

Note

If you set the value 0 as a character budget, users cannot make use of DeepL translations.
