How to Check Your Uploaded Contacts Limit
You can view your current uploaded contacts limit and usage on the billing page. The billing page displays your usage in this format:
Current number of contacts uploaded / Total uploaded contacts limit
Example: 456 / 25,000 in the example below means:
You have uploaded 456 leads across all your campaigns
Your total uploaded contacts limit is 25,000 (Hyper Growth plan)
You have 24,544 contacts remaining before reaching your limit
You can easily verify the lead count in each campaign using Instantly Copilot.

Alternatively, you can delete entire campaigns. All leads in the campaign will also be deleted.
Wait 5-10 minutes for the system to update your limit

Deleting from "Lists" won't reduce your uploaded limit
Deleting leads does NOT restore credits used for lead verification or generation
Deleted leads cannot be recovered -> download your leads as a backup before deletion
FAQs
Does my upload limit reset monthly?
Does my upload limit reset monthly?
No, your upload limit does not reset monthly. The uploaded contacts limit is a fixed total that counts all leads you've ever uploaded to campaigns (active, paused, completed, and draft).
This limit stays the same regardless of whether you're on monthly or annual billing. Unlike credits, it doesn't refresh each month.
Why does it still say I'm at my limit after deleting leads?
Why does it still say I'm at my limit after deleting leads?
It takes 5-10 minutes for the contact limit to update after deleting leads from your campaign. If it's been longer than that, try these steps:
Force refresh your billing page
Verify you're in the right workspace
Make sure you deleted from campaigns, not lists
• Only leads removed from campaigns free up space
• Deleting from "Lists" won't reduce your uploaded limit
My upload number doesn't match what I see in my campaigns
My upload number doesn't match what I see in my campaigns
The uploaded contacts count on your billing page includes all leads across all campaigns (active, paused, completed, and draft), which might be why the numbers don't match what you see in individual campaigns. To verify your total count:
Go to Billing page → Outbound plan to see the usage
Count Leads in Each Campaign. You might have forgotten leads in old or paused campaigns. Use Instantly Copilot to verify the total number of leads in each campaign.
Cache issue: If numbers still seem off, try refreshing to avoid cache issue
Important: All leads count toward your limit, even if they're duplicates across campaigns. Example:
Uploading [email protected] to Campaign A = 1 upload
Uploading the same [email protected] to Campaign B = 1 upload
Total: 2 uploads counted toward your limit
