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.
