How to Control Daily Marketplace Usage Limits in GoHighLevel
If you manage multiple client accounts in ClickUp and GoHighLevel, keeping tight control over usage-based app costs is essential. This how-to guide explains, step by step, how agency owners can configure, edit, and monitor daily usage limits for Marketplace apps that bill by usage within GoHighLevel.
Using these controls helps you prevent unexpected overages, keep client billing predictable, and align app usage with your agency’s pricing model.
What Are Daily Usage Limits in GoHighLevel Marketplace?
In the GoHighLevel Marketplace, some apps charge based on how much they are used instead of a flat monthly fee. To protect agencies and their sub-accounts, Marketplace provides a daily usage limit feature.
Daily usage limits allow you to:
- Set a maximum amount a sub-account can spend on a usage-based app per day
- Pause usage automatically when the daily budget is reached
- Manually review and adjust limits for each sub-account
- Keep costs predictable and avoid surprise bills
This feature is controlled at the agency level and applied to individual sub-accounts using those apps in GoHighLevel.
Where to Find Usage-Based Apps in GoHighLevel
Only apps that bill based on usage support these daily controls. To confirm an app supports usage limits, you must access it from your agency view.
Step 1: Open the GoHighLevel Agency View
- Log in to your GoHighLevel agency account.
- Make sure you are in the Agency (not sub-account) view.
The agency view is required because only the agency can manage Marketplace app billing and usage limits.
Step 2: Go to the Marketplace
- From the left-hand navigation, click Marketplace.
- Browse or search for the usage-based app you want to manage.
- Select the app to open its details page.
If the app is usage-based, you will see options that relate to usage, such as usage metrics and configuration for each sub-account.
How GoHighLevel Usage Limits Work for Sub-Accounts
Daily usage limits are applied at the sub-account (client account) level. Each sub-account can have its own limit for a given usage-based app in GoHighLevel.
Key points about how limits work:
- The limit applies per calendar day.
- Usage stops when the daily limit is reached.
- You can change the limit at any time from the agency panel.
- New limits take effect immediately for subsequent usage.
This allows you to give larger clients higher limits while keeping smaller or trial accounts more restricted.
How to Set Daily Usage Limits in GoHighLevel
Use the following steps to set or adjust daily usage limits for a Marketplace app across your sub-accounts.
Step 1: Open the App Configuration Screen
- In the GoHighLevel agency view, open Marketplace.
- Click the usage-based app you want to manage.
- Locate the section that displays sub-account usage or configuration for that app.
You should now see a list of sub-accounts that have the app installed or are using it.
Step 2: Locate the Sub-Account to Configure
- Find the specific sub-account (client) whose daily usage you want to control.
- Look for a column or field labeled something similar to Daily Usage Limit, Daily Cap, or Usage Control.
The exact label may vary by app, but it will indicate where you can cap the daily usage.
Step 3: Enter or Edit the Daily Limit
- Click inside the daily usage limit field for that sub-account.
- Enter the maximum allowable daily usage (for example, a dollar amount or number of units, depending on the app).
- Confirm or save the change, usually with a Save or Update button.
Once saved, this value becomes the active daily usage limit for that sub-account in GoHighLevel.
Step 4: Repeat for Other Sub-Accounts
- Review each sub-account in the list.
- Set an appropriate daily usage limit based on the client’s plan, budget, or risk tolerance.
- Save after updating multiple limits if the screen requires it.
By configuring each client individually, you maintain full control over app-related costs.
Monitoring Marketplace Usage in GoHighLevel
After setting limits, you should monitor how sub-accounts use usage-based apps to refine your caps and pricing.
Check Current Usage and Remaining Limits
From the app’s configuration or usage screen in the GoHighLevel agency view, you can usually see:
- Daily usage so far for each sub-account
- How close each account is to its daily limit
- Which accounts frequently hit the cap
This helps you spot clients who are consistently maxing out their usage and may need a higher plan or an adjustment to their daily limit.
Adjusting Limits Based on Client Needs
Use the monitoring data to update limits:
- Increase limits for clients who need more volume and understand the cost.
- Lower limits for clients who are overspending compared to their package.
- Align limits with your agency’s internal packages or tiers.
Because you can edit limits in real time inside GoHighLevel, it is easy to respond to client needs quickly.
Best Practices for Agencies Using GoHighLevel Marketplace Limits
To get the most value out of daily usage controls, consider the following best practices for agencies.
1. Align Limits With Your Pricing Tiers
Map daily limits to your client plans. For example:
- Starter: Low daily usage cap
- Growth: Medium daily usage cap
- Premium: High or flexible daily usage cap
This keeps your GoHighLevel costs tied to revenue and makes it easier to explain limits to clients.
2. Communicate Limits Clearly to Clients
When onboarding a new client, explain:
- Which Marketplace apps you will use
- What their daily usage limit is
- What happens when the limit is reached
Clear communication reduces support tickets and confusion when usage pauses after the cap is hit.
3. Review Usage Regularly
Schedule a recurring review:
- Check which clients hit their daily limit often.
- Identify accounts with very low usage that might be over-provisioned.
- Adjust limits or client plans to maintain healthy margins.
Consistent review ensures that your GoHighLevel Marketplace usage stays profitable and under control.
