Saved task limit reached, or session already saved

You might be here because: “Your plan keeps up to N recipes, and this account has N” · “Delete a recipe to save a new one” · “This session is already saved as recipe” · “Delete that recipe to save the session again” · “429 tier-limit when saving a saved task” · “409 conflict saving a saved task” · “can’t save another saved task” · “how many saved tasks can I keep” · “save the same session twice” · “A usage limit was reached. Wait a moment or review your plan, then try again”

Short answer

A saved task is a copy of the steps a finished or running AI session took, not of its transcript. In the API this object is called a recipe. A saved task records the steps for you to look through; it cannot be run again. The desktop app cannot delete a saved task; delete one from code with DELETE /v1/recipes/{id}. Two rules stop a save: each plan keeps a fixed number of saved tasks, and a session is saved once. Delete a saved task you no longer need, then save again. To save the same session under a new label, first delete the saved task it already made.

Check first

  • Which sentence did you get? “Your plan keeps up to N recipes, and this account has N. Delete a recipe to save a new one.” is the limit (HTTP 429 tier-limit); “This session is already saved as recipe … Delete that recipe to save the session again.” is the one-save rule (HTTP 409 conflict).
  • Working in a team owner’s workspace? A saved task there belongs to the team owner and counts against the owner’s plan, and every saved-task action there needs the admin role.

Likely causes and fixes

  1. You are at the plan’s number. Saved tasks per plan: Trial 10 (the trial has no AI agent, so in practice only a Manual session can be saved, from code), Starter 50, Pro 200, Team 500, Scale 1,000; Enterprise is set by contract. Older plans that are no longer sold keep their own numbers. The refusal carries limit and current. Fix: delete a saved task, or move to a higher plan — self-serve for Starter, Pro and Team from the dashboard → Billing → Choose a plan (or Change plan if you pay by card), then Choose … (or Upgrade to …) on the plan you want; Scale and Enterprise are arranged with a person.

  2. This session is already saved. A session is saved once; the 409 names the existing saved task in recipe_id. An exact repeat of the same save (same session, label and description) returns that saved task again and stores nothing new. Fix: delete that saved task if you want the session saved under a different label.

  3. The desktop app shows a generic sentence — “A usage limit was reached. Wait a moment or review your plan, then try again.” for the 429, “The item changed or is busy. Refresh and try again.” for the 409; the exact reason is in the API response.

  4. “AgentSession … not found” (404). The session must belong to the workspace you save into.

If it still fails

If you deleted a recipe and the save is still refused, press Talk to a person in this chat (or open Help) and include your plan, the limit and current values from the response, the session id and, for a 409, the recipe_id.
