How do I increase the limits of Konnect Plus?

If you exceed monthly resource limits on Plus, you’ll receive email and in-app notifications prompting you to reduce usage or upgrade. Advanced features like SSO and Audit Logs are only available with Enterprise, so if you need them — or consistently exceed usage limits — we recommend upgrading to Konnect Enterprise, which offers higher availability and enhanced support. If you would like to move to the Enterprise plan, you may do so by contacting sales.
