<Tip>
  Save up to **15%** by committing to 24 months. The longer your commitment, the more you save.
</Tip>

## How Discounts Work

The discount calculation is applied as follows:

```javascript theme={null}
const basePrice = 79900; // paise (₹799)
const discount = discountRates[months] || 0;
const finalAmount = months * basePrice * (1 - discount / 100);
```

**Example for 12 months:**

* Base: ₹799 × 12 = ₹9,588
* Discount: 10% off = ₹959 savings
* **Final: ₹8,628**

## Plan Limits Enforcement

Limits are enforced at the system level from `/prototype/backend/src/constants/planLimits.js`:

```javascript theme={null}
export const PLAN_LIMITS = {
  free: {
    projects: 3,
    requests: 2000,
    ram: 512,
    cpu: 0.1,
    customDomain: false,
    teamMembers: 1,
  },
  pro: {
    projects: 10,
    requests: 100000,
    ram: 2048,
    cpu: 1,
    customDomain: true,
  }
}
```

<Warning>
  When you exceed your plan limits, deployments may be throttled or blocked. Monitor your usage regularly to avoid service interruptions.
</Warning>

## Subscription Duration

In production environments:

* Subscriptions last for the exact number of months purchased
* Duration calculated as: `months × 30 days`
* Auto-expiry notifications sent 5 days before subscription ends

```javascript theme={null}
// From verify.controller.js:55-56
const subscriptionEnd = new Date(now.getTime() + months * 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
const notifyDate = new Date(now.getTime() + months * 25 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
