Apple has begun selling one-time Intelligence Usage Packs, priced at $49.99, so Logic Pro users can keep using some Apple Intelligence features after they hit monthly usage caps^1,3.

The Verge reported that Apple added a Buy More Usage control after a September support article described limits on features that rely on cloud models from OpenAI or Google Gemini¹. Engadget said Logic Pro is the first Creator Studio app to offer the packs and that the in-app assistant, added in an update last month, uses Apple’s models as well as third-party models³.

Users can open Intelligence Features, then Show Usage, in Logic Pro’s menu to see remaining allowance and buy a pack^1,3. Apple says unused extra usage rolls over from month to month, expires 12 months after purchase, and is consumed only after the monthly limit in a given month^1,3. Packs are tied to the Apple Account that bought them; Family Sharing is not supported^1,3.

An Apple support page cited by Engadget says packs are available to people with active Creator Studio subscriptions in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Brazil, France, Germany, India and Mexico³. The Verge said Logic Pro’s limit depends on how complex conversations with the assistant are¹.

The Verge reported the buy-more option is expected in other Creator Studio apps this month, including Pixelmator Pro, Final Cut Pro, Motion, Pages, Keynote and Numbers¹. Engadget said expansion to apps such as Final Cut Pro and Pixelmator Pro seemed likely but did not give a date³.

Techmeme pointed to 9to5Mac as the original spot of the $50 packs in Creator Studio apps². Engadget contrasted the one-time packs with Siri AI, which Apple has said is subject to daily limits with expanded access through iCloud+ plans that have not been fully detailed³. Neither The Verge nor Engadget reported how much extra usage a $50 pack buys^1,3.
