Your plan and usage
Your plan sets how much of Cedent your firm can use — most visibly, how many matters you can have active at once. This page explains how that limit works and where to see your usage.
Active matters and your limit
Section titled “Active matters and your limit”Your plan includes a set number of active matters. A matter counts as active while it is in Intake, Open, or On Hold; once you Close or Archive it, it no longer counts. So the way to make room within your plan is to close or archive matters whose work is done — nothing is deleted, and they stay searchable. See Matter status and lifecycle.
Cedent’s plans step up through tiers, with higher tiers raising the active-matter limit and unlocking features like billing export.
Seeing your AI usage
Section titled “Seeing your AI usage”Settings → Billing & Usage shows how much AI work your firm is doing: total cost over the period, the number of requests, and a breakdown by matter and by the kind of work, plus a log of recent activity. It is there for visibility into where the work is going.
Changing your plan
Section titled “Changing your plan”Plan changes are handled with the Cedent team. If you are bumping against your active-matter limit or want to move up a tier, reach out and they will sort it out.
Common questions
Section titled “Common questions”I’ve hit my active-matter limit — what now? Close or archive finished matters to free room, or contact the Cedent team to move to a higher tier. Intake, Open, and On Hold count toward the limit; Closed and Archived do not.
Does closing a matter to free up room lose anything? No. Closing or archiving only changes whether a matter counts as active. Its record stays intact and searchable.
