Hi all, I just recently discovered Glide while working on a personal project. I created and published an app less than a week ago. I have 5 users (including myself), and yesterday we started getting a message saying, “This team has reached its update limit”. Being so new I wasn’t aware of the update restrictions, so I began doing some research – and know I am more confused than when I began. **Quick description of the components in my app;** - Use relation, rollup, and computation columns - Also played around with experimental columns; JavaScript, Dates, and Excel Formulas - Uses workflows heavily, but obviously only with user interaction - Workflows add rows, edit rows, increment values, delete rows - Users can edit values of some rows. - Used HTML and CSS in Rich Text components - Uploaded images **So, I have a few questions;** 1. Even though I made my account less than a month ago, I was automatically given the “Legacy” Free account – is this right? 2. My usage page is showing a limit of 1000 Updates – aren’t Free accounts limited to 0 updates? 3. Most confusing to me is how I even used updates in the first place. I am using only Glide Tables, and as far as I could tell that should not be using updates. Does any row change cause an update, even in a Glide Table? 4. Biggest question; how can I fix this issue? Is there something wrong with my account, or is there ways for me to do my app in a better way? **I’ll attach some screenshots below;** Usage Page; ![Usage Page](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/4/2/422fb11913ba5227781aa1b9597b2318addc1b27.jpeg) View of my tables; ![Datasheet 1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/8/4/84a302f79f56288daf528649e18be41c65e67a1e.jpeg) ![Datasheet 2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/6/7/67c7f6ecaae64f58f97617f95e28c0d3395b1e1b.jpeg) App’s Workflow’s: ![Workflow 1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/0/a/0afa7933c2b57f0bed28679dc47ca738bb6c3d5d.png) ![Workflow 2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/b/0/b0f8a95e351d499f825541fa38e790a5de64ebe7.png) Thanks for the help, Matthew ---

Matthew, could you create a new team which should automatically be set to the Free plan? If you are successful creating a new team on the Free plan, you should be building your projects in there, not from inside a team on the Legacy Free plan. @Matthew_Scott ---

Is it possible you have multiple teams? You can see the team you have by clicking on the name of the active team, a drop down will appear. I wonder if you have a paid team where you created an app and published it. And then you might have a different Legacy Free team. And you got the two confused? ---

Nathan, Appreciate the response. I made a new team, and it is automatically set to “Free” – not “Legacy Free”. Is there a way to transfer my app from the “Legacy Free” team to the “Free” team, to save me from having to rebuild it? And to answer your other question, I didn’t have multiple teams and never paid for any subscription or got a free trial. Definitely weird. Thanks again ---

Does any row change cause an update, even in a Glide Table? When you click on the “Family Challenge” app in your Usage Dashboard, what types of update does it show? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/2/52492514cc6b88a8eb02eee9acfc1dccb0286948.jpeg) For example, in one of my apps, I can view the breakdown like this. ![CleanShot 2026-01-09 at 07.47.35](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/f/1/f129a326049f71d5e3205129759872b460d5a70c.png) ---

That’s weird. I don’t have any further input for this. Will ask the team to check again on records.
