Automated resolutions included in your plan
Current Zendesk Suite and Support plans include a baseline number of automated resolutions. All plans have a maximum of 10,000 allocated automated resolutions per year.
| Plan | Zendesk Suite | Support (standalone) |
|---|---|---|
| Enterprise | 15 automated resolutions/agent/month | 15 automated resolutions/agent/month |
|
Professional Growth |
10 automated resolutions/agent/month | 10 automated resolutions/agent/month |
| Team | 5 automated resolutions/agent/month | 5 automated resolutions/agent/month |
If you find that you need to increase the number of automated resolutions available to you to avoid exceeding your allotted amount, which can incur overage charges. You can add automated resolutions to your account and cap the number of automated resolutions that can be consumed by your account each month.
Changes for Answer Bot resolution and MAU users

Purchasing Answer Bot resolutions and MAUs
As of August 21, 2024, customers without a current bot usage commitment can no longer purchase new Answer Bot resolution or MAU bot usage packages. To use AI agent features, these customers must purchase automated resolutions.
If you have an active bot usage commitment, your bot usage management experience will not change until November 9, 2024, when usage units are transitioned to automated resolutions. Until then, you can continue to purchase additional Answer Bot resolutions and MAUs via the shopping cart or subscription page.
Transitioning to automated resolutions
On November 6, 2024, your account will begin using automated resolutions to calculate AI agent usage. This transition includes the following changes for Answer Bot resolution and MAU users:
- Converting usage units to automated resolutions. Any unused Answer Bot resolutions or MAUs will be converted to automated resolutions. You can view the automated resolution amounts on your subscription page in Admin Center at Account > Billing > Subscription.
- Removing dashboards. In Admin Center, the Answer Bot Article Recommendations and AI and bots usage dashboards will redirect to the Automated resolutions dashboard.
Testing AI agent features and usage
You can incorporate any or all of the AI agent features into your customer support setup. However, your account is subject to usage fees.
Experiment with AI agents functionality and monitor how different usage approaches might affect your automated resolution consumption.
You can ensure you're ready for AI agents in the following ways:
- Become an AI agent expert. Spend some time learning about AI agents features and automated resolutions.
- Explore AI agents. All Zendesk Suite or Support plans include AI agents functionality. Take a hands-on approach to the whole range of capabilities.

As you experiment with AI agents, use the Automated resolutions dashboard to keep an eye on how different configurations impact your automated resolution usage. The dashboard displays a 30-day summary of automated resolution usage and a daily resolution usage breakdown.
