Frequently asked questions

The same answers the help inside the app gives you, in case you want to settle a question before installing it.

Accounts

What is an account?

An account represents where you keep money: cash, a bank account, a credit card, a points wallet, or investments. On the Accounts tab you see each account's balance plus a projected balance (the total you'd have if you recorded every pending movement).

How do I create a new account?

From the Accounts tab with the add button. You can also create one without leaving the movement form: when you tap the account field, the picker shows New account at the top; once created it's automatically selected on the movement.

Which account types can I add?

Cash, Checking, Savings, Credit card, Investment, Loan/Credit, and Points/miles. Each type has its own icon and default color. Credit-card accounts carry a statement-close day and a payment day used by the reminders. A Loan/Credit account can also record its interest rate, term in months, number of installments and minimum payment: all optional, saved for your reference only — the app does not compute interest or installments from them.

How do I archive an account?

Open the account from the Accounts tab and tap ✏️ to edit it. At the bottom of the form you'll find Archive account. Archiving hides the account but keeps its movements and history intact — you can restore it any time from Accounts → archive icon (top right).

How do I restore an archived account?

On the Accounts tab tap the archive icon (📥) at the top right. You'll see the list of archived accounts — tap Restore on the one you want back. It rejoins the total balance.

If I change a foreign-currency account's FX rate, does it re-value past movements?

No. An account's FX rate is used as a reference for new movements (auto-prefill of the "Receives" field on cross-currency transfers) and to display the current balance in your default currency. Existing movements keep the rate you typed on their form when they were saved — changing the account's rate later does NOT re-value the transfers you already made.

I have a foreign-currency account with no FX rate set. Why are its expenses missing from my totals and charts?

Because without a rate the app cannot know what they are worth in your default currency, and adding them up as if they were the same unit would produce a false total (US$100 counted as $100). While the rate reads Not set, those movements stay out of the monthly totals, the category chart and the trends — but they remain in your Movements list, in their own currency, and in the account balance. You don't have to guess when this happens: if the month you are viewing is missing any, Home tells you at the top ("These totals are incomplete"), how many and from which account, with a shortcut to set its rate. Type it and they start counting again on their own — and the notice goes away.

What is the maintenance fee and how do I set it up?

It's the fee your bank charges periodically for an account or card, and the app can record it automatically. Edit the account and tap Maintenance fee (when creating an account it appears after Show more fields). You set the amount, the billing (monthly or quarterly), the charge day, and the category the expense is filed under. Each period, on that day, the expense is created automatically with the correct date — even if you open the app days later. To turn it off, open the same screen and tap Remove maintenance fee.

My bank waives the fee if I spend a minimum. Is that supported?

Yes: enable Waiver by spending in the fee settings and set the minimum spending. If your confirmed expenses on that account reach the goal within the chosen window (calendar month by default, or billing cycle), that period is not charged. If you delete a fee expense that was already charged, the app respects your decision and won't re-charge it. To stop charging it every month, open Management fee and tap Remove management fee.

Will it notify me when the fee is charged?

Yes, if you keep Notify on charge enabled: a phone notification arrives on the charge day (even with the app closed) saying whether it was charged or waived, and the notifications page keeps the detail (amount charged, or how much you spent toward the goal). The notice hour is configured in More → Notification schedule → Informational notifications (default 10:00 a.m.).

I changed my points or miles balance. Is it recorded anywhere?

Yes, and you choose how. When you edit the balance from the account detail, the app shows the difference (e.g. 5.000 pts/miles, with its money value) and asks how to record it:

  • Record income / expense — creates a movement on the account with a date, description and category, so there's a history of why the balance changed. Points you earned are an income; points you used, an expense.
  • Adjust without a movement — just corrects the balance, leaving no movement. Useful when setting the real balance for the first time or fixing a typo.

It's the same behaviour money accounts have under Adjust balance. Note: because points movements also store their money equivalent (points × value per point), earning miles adds to the month's income and using them adds to the expenses, like any other movement.

Can I share an account with my partner or family?

Yes. Open the account detail and tap the share icon (top bar, next to movements). Type the other person's e-mail — they need aBolsillo — and pick what they can do:

  • View only: sees the account and its movements, writes nothing.
  • View and register: also creates income, expenses and transfers, and can correct other people's.

You also choose whether to share past movements or only what's registered from then on. They get an invitation in their notifications page, and the account shows up once they accept.

What is never shared: the card's last 4 digits. And only the owner can edit the account (name, type, balance, maintenance fee), archive it or change permissions.

Do I have to type the e-mail every time I share an account?

No. Only the first time: you type the person's e-mail and they accept. From then on, when you share another account with that same person, they show up under "With somebody who already shares with you" — one tap, no typing.

That list only holds people who already accepted sharing with you (in either direction), and it hides anyone who already has access to that account. The e-mail field is still there for somebody new.

On a shared account, what does each person see and what stays mine?

What is shared is the account: its balance and its movements, each showing who registered it. And yes, that account counts toward your total — each person decides on their own with the Include in total switch, without affecting the other.

What stays yours only:

  • Your reminders: the other person's pending movements don't notify you. A reminder belongs to whoever set it, at the hour they configured.
  • Your categories: each person classifies with their own catalogue. A foreign movement's category is visible but not editable, and the description suggestions when creating a movement come only from your movements.
  • The card's last 4 digits are never shared.

What is points cashback?

It records the points or miles your card earns for you. You set which points account the card feeds and at what rate; every expense you register on that card creates the points income in the points account and links the two movements together.

How do I set it up?

Open the account (the card), tap "Show more fields" and then "Set up cashback". Choose the receiving points account, how it is calculated (a percentage of the purchase, or so many points per amount spent) and the income category. An example based on a 100,000 purchase is shown so you can check the rate. You need a points or miles account with its value per point set first. That is also where you choose when it is credited: right away, a few days after each purchase, or a fixed day of the month (all together or each purchase separately).

Why does a small purchase earn nothing?

Because banks accrue in whole blocks. If your card gives 1 point for every 700, a 500 purchase does not complete the block and earns nothing, and a 1,399 purchase earns one point, not two. You can change this under "Fraction of a point" if your program does recognise fractions.

When do the points appear?

It depends on how your bank does it, which is why you configure it. If your card pays the whole month on one day (like Banco de Occidente), the app records what each purchase earns and creates a single movement with the total on that day. If it credits a few days after each purchase, each one appears on its own date. With "Right away" they appear as you save the expense. In the meantime the expense already shows the points it earned.

What happens if I delete the expense or the points income?

Deleting the expense gives the points back and removes the income with it. Deleting only the points income leaves it deleted: the app does not re-create it. And turning cashback on today never credits earlier purchases.

Movements

How do I know I'm not looking at the current month on Home or Movements?

When you change months with the ‹ › arrows, the month name shows in light brown with a dot next to it (e.g. «● March»). On the current month it shows white, without the dot.

To go back, tap the month name and use CURRENT MONTH in the picker. And if you leave the app in the background for more than 30 minutes, it returns to the current month automatically.

What's the difference between expense, income, and transfer?

  • Expense subtracts money from an account (buying groceries, paying utilities).
  • Income adds money to an account (salary, a refund).
  • Transfer moves money between two of your accounts (checking → cash). It doesn't change your total balance, just redistributes it.

What does 'pending' mean for a movement?

A pending movement is scheduled but hasn't happened yet — e.g. an expense you know will hit next Tuesday, or an incoming payment. It counts toward the projected balance but not the current one. When you mark it Paid it becomes real and gets subtracted from (or added to) the balance.

Why does the status change when I change the date?

In a new movement the status follows the date automatically: past date or today → Paid, future date → Pending. It's a convenient default for the common case. Once you toggle the status switch by hand, we stop auto-changing and keep your choice even if you edit the date afterwards. In edit mode we never auto-change: the saved status is respected.

How do I edit a movement?

Tap any movement in the list and the form opens in edit mode. You can change amount, date, description, account, category, tags, or the pending/paid state. Saving updates it everywhere (balances, charts, reminders).

How do I delete a movement?

Open the movement and tap the 🗑️ icon (top right). We'll ask you to confirm — deleting rebalances the account and drops any reminder tied to that movement.

Why tags if I already have categories?

A category is the primary classification (Food, Transit, Health). A tag is a free-form label used to group movements that span several categories — for example trip-nariño on food, transit, and hotel expenses. A movement has exactly one category but can carry several tags.

Can I pre-assign tags to a Quick movement?

Yes. When you create or edit a Quick (More → Quicks), you'll see a Tags row below Category. Tap it to open the picker — same one used in the expense/income form — and choose existing tags or create new ones right there. When you tap the Quick from the list, the form opens with those tags already selected.

Can I create a tag from the movement form?

Yes. Tapping the Tags row opens a picker with a search field. If the tag you want doesn't exist yet, type it in the search field and tap Create '<name>' — it's added to the catalog and selected at once. You can also tap + New tag at the top of the picker.

Can I add a movement with no connection?

Yes. With no signal the movement is saved on your phone and the app says so: *“Saved offline · it will sync on its own”*. You'll see it in the list marked Not synced, and it already counts in your balances.

When the connection is back it is sent on its own, in the order you saved them. A “N movements to sync” chip at the top opens the list, where you can retry or discard.

If the server refuses one (say, your access to a shared account was removed) it is never lost or dropped silently: it stays flagged in red until you decide.

Reminders

How do I turn a reminder on for a movement?

In the form for a pending movement, enable the Remind me switch (at the bottom). You can pick the reminder day with the chips (same day as the movement, the day before, or another date). The hour comes from Settings → Notification schedule.

How do I change the reminder hour?

Go to Settings → Notification schedule. Two hours are configurable there:

  • Movement reminders (pending expenses, incomes, transfers).
  • Card payment reminders — when a credit card's payment is due.

Changing the hour re-anchors all pending reminders automatically.

Can I switch between 12h and 24h time format?

Yes. In Settings → Time format you can pick 12-hour (AM/PM) or 24-hour. It applies to the schedule cards, the movement form, and the time picker. Default is 12-hour.

If several pending movements share a day, do I get multiple notifications?

No. If two or more pending movements have a reminder on the same day, aBolsillo sends a single summary notification ("N pending movements"). Tapping it opens Movements filtered by that day. If there's only one, the notification opens that movement's edit form directly.

How do I record the deadline to pay a movement?

The movement date is when you record it (the bill arrived, you made the purchase); the deadline is the last day to pay or collect it, and they're rarely the same day.

On a pending movement, tap Show more fields and pick Payment deadline (or Collection deadline). Only days after the movement's date can be chosen.

Setting it turns the reminder on for the due day; the chips let you move it to a day before or any day in between. It's a single reminder: you choose whether it arrives on the due day or earlier. When it does, tap the notification and mark the movement as paid or received.

In the movements list you'll see Due today, Due in N d or Overdue (in red) while it stays pending. The badge shows from 10 days out: further than that it says nothing useful, and a badge that is always there stops being read. Overdue and Due today always show. The reminder is unaffected — it still arrives on the day you picked, however far off. Marking it paid drops the deadline.

Can a recurring movement have a deadline?

Yes, on monthly or yearly rules: open the rule and pick the Payment deadline day (say, day 5). Every movement the rule generates carries its own deadline.

If that day already passed relative to the movement, it's due the next month: a rule charging on the 20th with deadline day 5 generates the July 20 movement due on August 5. And if the month doesn't have that day (the 31st in February, say), the last day of the month is used.

Why did a reminder arrive late?

Because the phone isn't letting aBolsillo notify you at the exact time. When that happens Android batches notifications to save battery, so yours can arrive several minutes after the time you set — or when you next use the phone, if it was idle.

Settings → Notification times shows a card with a button to turn it on; it takes you to "Alarms & reminders" in the system settings.

A reminder is never lost because of this: it still arrives, just late.

Categories and tags

How do I see whether a category is growing month over month?

Go to Home → Expenses by category → chart icon (top right of «Month breakdown»). That opens Category progress: one line per your top 5 categories, month by month.

There you can:

  • change the range: 3, 6, 12 or 24 months;
  • switch from expenses to income;
  • tap the % button to see each category's share of the month — useful when your income changes and you want to know whether something is taking a bigger slice;
  • tap a category (in the list or the legend) to see it alone, as bars, with a dashed line at its average.

Each list row shows the range total and how the last month compares with the previous one (▲ up / ▼ down).

On this screen subcategories add up into their parent category (unlike the Home donut, which separates them): several lines in the same colour would be impossible to tell apart.

Why does the category chart show subcategories?

Because it shows where each expense was actually filed. If you saved a purchase under «Restaurants», the slice says «Restaurants», not «Food». A category with no subcategories shows under its own name, as always.

Subcategories of the same category share the colour family in different shades, so you can tell them apart and still see which category they belong to.

The «Month breakdown» uses exactly the same rule, so what you see in the chart is what you find when you tap it.

Where do I manage categories?

Go to More → Categories. There you can create, rename, recolor, or archive expense or income categories. Each category has optional sub-categories for finer classification.

What happens if I archive a category with movements?

If the category has subcategories, they are archived with it: a subcategory can't be left hanging off an archived parent (and restoring one brings its parent back too).

When archiving we ask which category to reassign existing movements to — so none of them ends up uncategorized. The archived category is hidden from the picker, but the reassigned movements keep their value and show up under the new category's chart.

Where do I see all my tags?

Go to More → Tags. It lists every tag with how many movements use it. You can rename a tag (updates everywhere it's used) or delete it.

Budgets

What is a budget?

A monthly cap on a spending category — *Family, 1,000,000*, say. From then on the app tells you how you are doing: how much of that category you have spent this month, what is left, and whether you are on pace. You set it once and it applies every month.

How do I create a budget?

In More → Budgets, with the + button. Pick the expense category and the amount. The category cannot be changed afterwards: a budget on another category is a different budget.

What do **on track**, **fair**, **concerning**, **at the limit** and **over budget** mean?

It is not the percentage alone: it is the percentage against how much of the month has gone. Spending 50% on the 25th is fine; spending it on the 5th is not.

  • Over budget: you are past the cap.
  • At the limit: 90% or more is gone, whatever the day.
  • Concerning: well ahead of the month's pace.
  • Fair: ahead, not alarming.
  • On track: at the month's pace or below.

The first 5 days are special: by pace it never gets worse than *fair*, because one big charge at the start of the month (the rent, the school fee) does not mean the month is going badly. Being past the cap or at 90% is still reported straight away.

Do I have to set it up every month?

No. You set it once and it applies to every month after that, until you change it. And if one month is different — December, say — you can give that month alone a special amount from the same edit sheet: January goes back to the everyday amount on its own, with nothing to remember.

Does a budget include subcategories?

Yes. If *Family* has subcategories (*School*, for instance), what you file there counts against the *Family* budget. You can also give a subcategory its own budget: it is a tighter cap inside the other one, and it is not counted twice in the overall total.

What does NOT count against a budget?

Three things:

  • Pending movements, until you mark them paid. The *Expenses* total and the Home chart do the same, so the three figures always agree.
  • Someone else's expenses on a shared account: your budget is yours.
  • Movements the app could not convert to your default currency because the account has no exchange rate. Home flags those separately.

An expense paid with points or miles does count, at its money equivalent.

Recurring movements

What is a recurring movement?

A movement that repeats on an interval (monthly, weekly, every N days, etc.) — rent, subscriptions, salary. You set them up under More → Recurring movements and each time the schedule hits aBolsillo automatically generates the corresponding pending movement.

How do I change a recurring rule's amount or date?

Open the rule from More → Recurring movements and edit amount, start date, frequency, or end date. Changes apply from the next occurrence — instances already generated are untouched (you can edit or delete them one by one if you need to).

Can I get a reminder for every recurring movement without turning it on one by one?

Yes. Under More → Recurring movements, open the rule and toggle Remind for each occurrence. Pick how many days before you want the reminder (same day, 1 day before, or a custom number). Every future occurrence that rule generates already carries the reminder — no per-movement toggling. The exact hour comes from Settings → Notification schedule → Movement reminders. If you don't want the reminder for a specific month, open that pending movement and turn off its Remind switch — the rule and the other months aren't affected.

How do I stop a recurring rule?

Open More → Recurring movements and tap Delete. That removes the rule and the future pending rows it had already generated, but keeps past confirmed movements as history. If you want to start it up again later, create a new rule from a movement's form (Repeat).

Auto-detection

How does automatic bank-notification detection work?

aBolsillo listens to the notifications your bank posts on the phone (debit, purchase, transfer). It extracts amount, type, and the card's last-4 digits. The suggestion appears in Notifications (Pending) — from there you can Register it (creates the movement) or Reject it.

What permissions does it need?

It needs Android's notification access permission (it doesn't read SMS). On first launch it asks — if you denied it you can enable it from System settings → Apps → aBolsillo → Notifications → Notification access.

Can I customize how notifications are detected?

Yes. In More → Detection rules you can create rules that fill in the category, the description, the account (when the message carries no last four digits) and tags.

Mind the two text fields, because they do different things:

  • Word or phrase from the alert: what has to appear in the bank's message for the rule to apply. Write it the way the bank writes it, uppercase and unaccented if that is how it arrives (JUAN VALDEZ). It never shows up on the movement.
  • Movement's description: what ends up written on the expense. Write it the way you want to read it in your list (Coffee). Optional: leave it empty and the form opens as it did before.

Rules apply at filing time: when you accept the suggestion, the form already carries those values.

My bank notifies me by SMS and the app doesn't detect it. What can I do?

Share the message with aBolsillo. Long-press the SMS in your messaging app, tap Share and pick aBolsillo (it also shows up if you select the text). The app reads it, detects the movement and leaves the card ready in Notifications → Pending so you can register it with one tap.

Sharing the same message twice doesn't duplicate it, and neither does sharing one it had already detected on its own.

Why is this needed? Since Android 15 the system hands apps the content of bank SMS redacted ("Sensitive content hidden"), so automatic detection can no longer read them. What does still work on its own are your bank app's own notifications — check they're enabled in your bank's app.

Does detection work with no internet?

Yes, and nothing is lost. The message is stored on your phone the moment it arrives (even with no signal, even if the app is killed) and becomes a suggestion once you reconnect.

And you do not have to wait for a connection to register it: tapping Register on the bank notification while offline opens the form anyway, already filled in with the amount and account the app read from the message. The movement is saved on your phone and syncs by itself.

Sharing an SMS with the app while offline says *“Message saved · it will be processed when you reconnect”*.

How long are registered and rejected notifications kept?

7 days. After that they delete themselves — both detector suggestions and reminder cards. Only the first were purged before, so the list grew forever.

Two deliberate exceptions: the *“Set up your card”* and management fee cards are kept a bit longer, because the app uses them to remember it already told you. Deleting them at 7 days would bring back cards you had already dismissed.

The Clear button on each tab empties them in one go. Clearing does not bring back any card you had already dismissed: the app remembers your dismissals separately from the list.

I dismissed “Finish setting up this card” and it came back. Why?

That nudge is once every 30 days per card, and it stops for good as soon as you set the statement day and the payment day (Accounts → the card → Edit).

If it came back the same day, that was a bug: the app remembered “already nudged you” in the card sitting in the list, so Clear rejected wiped that memory and the nudge started over. It is fixed — the date of the last nudge now lives on the account, where clearing can’t reach it, and it holds across all your devices.

Why didn't the app detect a message from my bank?

Almost always because Android hid it from the app, not because the app couldn't read it.

Since Android 15 the system marks bank messages as sensitive and hides their content from apps that read notifications. You see the full message on screen; aBolsillo receives a placeholder saying "content hidden", with no amount and no account. There is nothing there to recognise.

The fix is to share it: open the message, tap Share and pick aBolsillo. That hands it to us directly, with nothing in between, and the form opens with the amount and account already filled in.

When it happens we notify you so it doesn't slip by. If you'd rather not get those — they also fire for verification codes, which aren't movements — you can turn them off in Detection rules.

Movements your bank's own app notifies (not by SMS) are still detected automatically.

Settings

How do I quickly find a setting?

In More → settings there's a search box at the top. Type what you're after (e.g. "PIN", "language", "cards", or "currency") and the matching settings show up — including the ones inside Profile or Security. Each result shows where it lives and takes you straight there when tapped.

How do I change or remove my PIN?

Go to More → Profile → Security. There you can set a new PIN or clear the existing one. The PIN is prompted when the app opens after a full close (not on every foreground return).

How do I change the language?

Go to More → Profile → Language and pick Spanish or English. The whole app translates, including notifications. The choice lives on your profile, so signing in from another device keeps the language.

Can I choose which cards I see on Home, and in what order?

Yes. More → Widgets: every Home card has its own switch, and you reorder them by long-pressing. The setting is saved on that device.

The cards are: Pending income and expenses, Recommendations, Expenses by category, Monthly balance and Expenses by account.

The two donuts answer different questions about the same monthly expenses: *by category* says what your money went on, *by account* says where it came from (which card or account paid). Tapping either one takes you to the month breakdown, each on its own tab.

Can I open the app with no connection?

Yes: the app opens even with no data or wifi. Anything that needs the internet (balances, movements, saving) tells you so with a message and a Retry button — it no longer sits on the logo forever.

If you have a PIN, it is still requested offline and unlocks normally: the PIN is verified on your own phone.

What does the app PIN protect me from?

From someone picking up your unlocked phone and seeing your balances: it is asked when you open the app, and again if you left it in the background for more than 30 seconds. It covers every screen with money, even if you arrive by tapping a notification.

And if you forget it, removing the PIN now asks for your fingerprint, pattern or screen lock first. Signing back in with Google used to be enough — and since your account is already on the phone, anyone holding it unlocked could do that.

If your phone has no screen lock set up, that confirmation can't be asked and the flow works as before: better that than locking you out of your own accounts.

Can I get in with my fingerprint instead of the PIN?

Yes. In Profile → Account → Security, turn on *Unlock the way you unlock your phone*: from then on the app opens with the same thing you use to unlock the phone — fingerprint, face, pattern or the screen-lock code, whichever you have set up.

You need a PIN first: the PIN is your fallback if the reader fails, and it stays available at all times. If you cancel the prompt when opening the app, you just type your PIN.

It is stored on this phone, not in your account: turning it on here does not turn it on anywhere else, and it switches itself off if you remove the PIN or sign out. It works offline, because it is your phone answering, not the server.

Worth knowing: this makes your app as strong as your phone lock, no more. Anyone who knows your pattern can open aBolsillo without knowing your PIN. If you would rather that were not the case, leave it off.

What is two-step verification and how do I turn it on?

It is a 6-digit code asked for on top of your Google account when you sign in. Even if somebody gets into your Google, without that code they do not reach your money.

Turn it on in Profile → Account → Security → Two-step verification. You will need an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy). Scan a code, type the 6 digits it shows, and that is it. Turning it on signs you out on your other devices.

Save the recovery codes we give you at the end. They are your only way in if you lose your phone, and they are shown only once.

Lost your phone? Install Google Authenticator on the new one and sign in with the same Google account you use here: if sync was on, your codes come back by themselves. If not, use a recovery code — that turns verification off, and you can set it up again.

Do not confuse this with the PIN: the PIN protects this phone, two-step verification protects your account. They are different things and you can have both.

Account

How do I sign out?

More → Profile → Sign out. Signing out clears local data (scheduled reminders, local history) — the next sign-in re-schedules reminders from your pending movements.

How do I delete my account?

More → Profile → Security → Delete account. Before you confirm, the screen shows exactly what will be erased: how many accounts, how many movements (broken down into expenses, income and transfers), the period your history covers, and how many categories, tags, recurring and quick movements you have. If you share an account, it warns you that the other person will lose access.

Deletion is deferred: confirming only marks the account and signs you out. For 48 hours you can undo it: sign back in and go to Profile → Security → Delete account, then tap *Cancel deletion*. Signing back in by itself does NOT cancel anything. After 48h all your data is permanently erased. This cannot be undone.

What is the Free plan and what are its limits?

Everyone is on the Free plan, which reaches every feature — nothing is switched off. What it has are caps:

  • 10 accounts (archived ones count too)
  • 10 movements a day and 10 edits a day
  • 10 filtered searches a day
  • 10 categories of your own, 10 tags, 10 recurring movements, 10 quick movements, 10 detection rules and 10 budgets

If you were already above what is now the cap, nothing is taken away: you keep what you have, you just can't create more.

The Premium plan raises all of that to 100. It can't be purchased yet; when it can, you'll see it here.

Your plan shows as a badge in Profile, under your e-mail.

What counts and what doesn't count toward the limits?

They don't count:

  • The categories the app ships with. If the install gave you 50, your own 20 are still all there.
  • Movements the app creates by itself: recurring occurrences and maintenance-fee charges. Only what you register counts.
  • Accounts someone shared with you. Those count for their owner.

They do count:

  • Archived accounts: archiving doesn't free a slot.
  • A transfer is one movement, even though it touches two accounts.

About the daily ones: the day's quota is spent when you register. Deleting a movement afterwards doesn't give it back — otherwise creating and deleting would make the limit meaningless. The day starts at midnight, Colombia time.

I hit a limit. What happens to what I already have?

Nothing. Nothing of yours is ever deleted or archived to make you fit: only creating more is blocked. You can keep viewing, editing, archiving and deleting everything you had, and if you were already above a cap before plans existed, you keep it.

When you tap a create button while at the cap, the app tells you which limit you reached and what counts toward it, instead of leaving a dead button.

My tag counter went down on its own. Why?

Because tags no movement uses are removed once a week, and that frees up room without you doing anything.

So if you reached 10 tags but several were left unused, a few days later you'll be able to create more. You don't need to delete any by hand.
