Each plan comes with a set monthly recording hours. Recording Time is added to your account each month when invoices succeed. Your Recording Time will rollover from month to month and is limited to 2x your plan's monthly Recording Time deposit. For example, the Hobbyist plan has 10 Recording Hours deposited each month per editor seat and has a Maximum Rollover Limit of 20 Recording Hours.
Any unused recording time will roll over from month to month and is limited to 2x of your plan's monthly hours. For example, if you have a Hobbyist plan with no additional editor members, you have 10 monthly recording hours and a maximum rollover limit of 20 recording hours.

Monitoring your recording time
You can easily keep tabs on your session history and time accruals by viewing the full scope of your Recording Time by visiting the analytics in your account settings.
- Monthly Time Deposit: A plus sign (+) next to a time entry indicates new Recording Time added to your account.
- Session History: Individual bullet points mark each recording session and the time used.
The total time at the top of your Time Ledger provides a snapshot of the current month's recorded hours as well as your available hours, helping you plan and allocate your resources wisely.
Monthly recording and transcription hours:
If you haven't already, make sure to connect your Descript account to SquadCast. This will make sure your remote recording time does not count towards your monthly transcription hours when importing SquadCast recordings into Descript.
How can I increase my monthly recording hours?
While the recording hours used in SquadCast will not count towards your monthly transcription hours in Descript for linked accounts (see the above section), they are paired together in our system. If you need more recording hours, you can look into getting more transcription hours.
