No, UGC limits are applied on a monthly basis. You cannot use your new month's UGC limit to unlock content from a previous month. Hidden content from a previous month will remain hidden — it does not automatically become visible when a new month starts.
How it works
When you hit your monthly UGC limit, any additional content captured that month is hidden but still collected in the background.
Archive continues capturing all new content even after you reach your monthly UGC limit. That content is saved in the background but is hidden from your workspace until you upgrade.
Content is hidden based on the order it was captured by Archive — not by post date, engagement level, or creator. The most recently captured content above your limit will be hidden first.
In the next month, your limit resets and new content will be visible normally — but previously hidden content stays hidden.
The only way to unlock hidden content from a previous month is to upgrade your plan. Contact your Customer Success Manager (CSM) to increase your UGC capacity.
Hidden content is retained for one month. After that, it is permanently deleted.
Example: if your limit is 5,000 UGC and you hit it on April 20th, content posted by a creator on April 25th will still be detected and saved — it will simply appear as hidden. It will not be lost.
If you need to unlock hidden content, contact your Customer Success Manager (CSM) to discuss upgrading your plan.
