# Gordon usage limits and tiers




Gordon is included with every Docker account at the Base tier. Paid Gordon
plans unlock higher usage limits.

## Tiers

| Tier  | Usage allocation                 |
| ----- | -------------------------------- |
| Base  | Included with any Docker account |
| Plus  | 2× Base                          |
| Max   | 5× Base                          |
| Ultra | 10× Base                         |

## Usage limits

Gordon usage is measured in questions. The number you can ask depends on
complexity: questions that involve more context, files, or Docker operations
count more toward your limit.

| Tier  | Per 4 hours | Per day | Per month |
| ----- | ----------- | ------- | --------- |
| Base  | ~40         | ~100    | ~180      |
| Plus  | ~80         | ~200    | ~360      |
| Max   | ~200        | ~500    | ~900      |
| Ultra | ~400        | ~1000   | ~1800     |

These are estimates and vary based on question complexity.

Usage limits reset at fixed UTC times, not on a sliding window. The 4-hour
window resets every 4 hours starting at 00:00 UTC, the daily window resets at
00:00 UTC, and the monthly window resets on the first day of each calendar
month at 00:00 UTC.

Docker Desktop shows a usage indicator so you can see how close you are to
your limit. To get more usage, upgrade your tier.
