If the monthly usage limit is reached, AI functionality may become temporarily unavailable until the next billing period or until additional capacity is purchased.
Each Database Workbench license requires its own login to access the AI Subscription. However, a single subscription may be shared by multiple users. Please note that all users sharing the subscription also share the monthly usage limits.
