# Download limits on Bibliocad: Premium and Free files

In Bibliocad there are download limits for **Premium files** and **Free files**. These quotas are calculated independently and renew at different times, depending on the file type.

Here’s how they work:

###### **Definitions**
* **Subscription period**: a **30-day period** starting from the activation or renewal of your Premium subscription.
* **Calendar month**: the period between the 1st and the last day of each month.
* **Premium and Free files**: are **counted separately**, meaning each type of download has its own quota.

### **Download quotas**

###### **Premium files**
* Base limit: **150 downloads** per subscription period (30 days).
* If you use up your quota early:
    * You can continue downloading up to **3 Premium files per day**.
    * The quota automatically resets at the **renewal of your subscription period**, at 00:00:00 (UTC−03:00).
    * At that moment, you regain the full **150 downloads**.

###### **Free files**
* Base limit: **300 downloads** per calendar month.
* If you use up your quota before the end of the month:
    * You can continue downloading up to **5 Free files per day**.
    * The quota resets at the start of a **new calendar month**, at 00:00:00 (UTC−03:00).
    * At that moment, you regain the full **300 downloads**.
