Unit 3: Check its math · Lesson 4 of 4 · about 5 min

Forecast when your plan runs out

You run 5 bots on one plan. The week is 79% used and the reset is Tuesday. You want to know the day you run out and which bot to pause first.

You're practising: Getting a forecast with the math shown, so you can check it before you pause anything.

The mistake to catch: AI totals look right and are often wrong. Make it show the math.
