AI Usage Limit

Scam With Your Friends can show temporary AI usage restrictions, but a specific Early Access daily allowance, token quota, reset interval, or subscription price has not been verified. The developer's unlimited AI credits wording explicitly applies to the playtest only. Do not treat that statement as a promise of unlimited Early Access usage.

Hotfix 2 makes AI failures and temporary usage restrictions appear as clear status messages instead of fake caller dialogue. If a call stops responding, read the message before assuming you have reached a daily cap.

Understand what is confirmed

The available information distinguishes three things: a playtest promotion, the existence of temporary restriction messages, and other AI access failures.

Naming the third-party service does not establish how the developer allocates usage to players. It also does not establish a requirement to provide your own API account or purchase extra credits.

The waiting indicator identifies a reply stage; it does not establish a usage restriction.

Read the restriction message accurately

Hotfix 2 changed AI errors so they appear as status messages rather than fictional caller dialogue. This helps distinguish an application condition from a caller's response during the game.

Copy the exact message. If it says a temporary usage restriction is active, describe it that way. Do not translate it into an invented number of calls, tokens, minutes, or daily sessions.

There is no verified cooldown duration to promise here. A guide claiming that access always resets after a fixed number of hours would go beyond the available information. Repeated attempts are also not proof that the restriction has ended; the useful observation is whether the displayed status changes.

Separate a restriction from other AI problems

A caller that does not respond has not necessarily reached an allowance. The hotfixes addressed several unrelated causes of interrupted conversations:

• Incorrect PC clocks could prevent AI access; a fix and clearer guidance addressed that problem.
• Qwen3 startup could block caller input; Hotfix 2 fixed that behavior.
• Caller voice loading could stall; Hotfix 2 included a fix.
• Speech recognition delays were reduced in Hotfix 2.

Use the exact message and the point of failure to distinguish these situations. If the caller has a reply but its voice is not loading, that is not evidence of a confirmed usage cap. If the game identifies a clock issue, do not replace that diagnosis with an assumed credit limit.

Typed dialogue remains available following the speech startup changes. Comparing typed and spoken input may help describe an input problem, but it is not a documented way to remove an AI restriction.

Keep playtest wording separate from Early Access

The developer's statement about unlimited credits is explicitly qualified by the playtest. Early Access released on Steam on October 15, 2026, so the qualifier matters when reading promotional text from that earlier access phase.

The statement does not reveal the current allocation method, whether a temporary restriction is account-wide, or how service-side limits are managed. Those details remain unverified. Do not infer a new payment obligation or a permanent service shutdown from a temporary restriction message.

Record a useful access report

Include the game version, exact status text, whether the issue affects typed dialogue as well as speech, and the point at which the call stops. Note whether an incorrect PC clock or a Qwen3 loading message is also present.

If you are looking for a precise allowance or reset time, the current evidence cannot supply one. Keeping that limit explicit is more useful than offering a number that may cause you to plan a session around an unsupported promise.
