Change Summary
Character.AI's Terms of Service were updated on June 21, 2026 with minor wording changes to metering and paywall messaging. The update modified how users are notified when they reach usage limits, changing from 'You hit {{amount}} {{feature}} today' to two variants including a new message 'You hit your {{feature}} limit today' without specifying an amount. This appears to be a user interface clarification with no material change to underlying usage policies or restrictions.
