Fix
Free accounts and Brain saving work as intended
New free accounts could hit a usage wall on their very first message, and saving a memory to your Brain could quietly fail. Both are fixed, free accounts now get their full monthly Thinkr Assist allowance, and Brain memories save reliably.
If you just signed up on a free plan and Thinkr Coach told you that you'd used up this month's usage before you'd really started, that wasn't you, that was us. Two things were quietly broken, and both are now fixed.
What was wrong
Two separate issues, same root cause:
- Free accounts were turned away immediately. A free plan's monthly Thinkr Assist allowance wasn't being applied, so the system read it as zero, and a zero allowance means every message looks like it's over the limit. The very first coach message came back as "You've used up this month's usage," which made no sense for a brand-new account.
- Saving to your Brain could fail. Adding a memory to your Brain, by hand or automatically from a conversation, could fail to write, so the memory didn't stick.
What changed
Free accounts now get their full monthly allowance, and the limit only kicks in once you've genuinely used it, not before your first message. Brain memories save reliably again, with the right person recorded as the author.
So it can't happen again
We added a safeguard to the usage limits: if Thinkr ever can't read a plan's allowance, it now falls back to the standard free allowance and flags it for us to fix, instead of defaulting to zero and locking people out. A configuration gap should never again be the thing standing between you and your first PRD.
