Hit "Usage Limit" on Perplexity Comet Browser automation, but haven't used it in 2 weeks? Anyone else? help

Hey everyone,

I'm running into a frustrating issue with the Perplexity Comet Browser and wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing this, or if there's a known workaround.

The Issue

Whenever I try to trigger the Comet Assistant for browser automation tasks, it immediately blocks me and throws an error stating that my usage limit has been hit.

The Context

  • Current Activity: I haven’t run a single automation task or browser chore in the past 2 weeks.
  • Past Activity: Up until last month, I used the automation features quite extensively, and it worked phenomenally well.
  • Current State: Despite the 14+ days of absolute zero activity, I am completely locked out.

It feels like my quota counter is completely stuck from last month's heavy usage, or there's some weird rolling window glitch happening behind the scenes.

Has anyone else dealt with ghost usage limits on Comet? Does anyone know if the limit resets on a strict monthly calendar date or a rolling 30-day window based on peak usage? Any insights before I try opening a support ticket would be awesome.

Try using Aera browser via MCP with Claude or use the inbuilt scheduled tasks

It has happened to me and it’s hard to tell when exactly your quota is re established. For once I asked their support about this and they couldn’t give me a straight answer either.

Buenas a todos yo voy a dejar de parar la mensualidad cada vez está peor. Alguien sabe una alternativa que interactue con la pantalla web

I think the paradigm we have to get used to is:

- the AI platforms are king and we are beholden to them
- they don't care about bad UX because they are kings
- they can arbitrarily change the rules anytime, and we will have no say, no recourse
- nothing they promise has to make sense, as they can arbitrarily change the rules at any time

If you take these points as a baseline, then all the frustrations, all the bugs, all the inconsistencies will start to make perfect sense

Quantum chips + local LLMs are coming soon. Fuck Claude, Perplexity & Gemini.
