What is the "upload budget" at the top of my profile page?
The membership Unverified, Verified and Plus have a limit on how many minutes of content you can upload:
- Unverified: 60 min budget, recharge +20 per day
- Verified: 300 min budget, recharge +20 per day
- Plus: 600 min budget, recharge +60 per day
- Content Creator: no limit
- Power User: no limit
How does this work in practice? Here is an example:
- You're a verified user and I have an upload budget "300 / 300" with a greyed out "+" button.
- You post a few videos and now my budget is down to "200 / 300"
- Each day you get 20 minutes back: "220 / 300" ... "240 / 300" ... etc
- You upload more, now you're down to e.g. "50 / 300"
- Below 60 min the "+" top-up button activates (blue)
- This means if you want to upload a 60 min clip, you need at least "60 / 300".
- You can use the "+" button to get 20 minutes extra for 100 XP. Now you're at "70 / 300"
- Note: you can use the re-up button once per day.
- You now post your 60 min clip. You're down to "10 / 300".
- Each day the budget recharges by 20 minutes: "30 / 300" ... "50 / 300" ... etc
- About 14 days later you're back at "300 / 300"
