What Kairos does by itself

Caps

Your own ceiling for an account — soft caps and hard caps, what each does to rotation and to running sessions, the Cap sheet, and the command.

A cap is your own ceiling for one account, below the limit ceiling: keep some of a seat for its other users, keep a personal account for the evening, or never pay past a point.

Two kinds

A cap counts on every window the account has: the 5-hour window, the week, and any other limit. Once the window that reached it resets under the cap, the account is used again. A cap is never above the limit ceiling.

With a hard cap, the capacity guard asks working sessions to pause at a safe point even with little notice, and asks them to continue once the account has room again. A tool that cannot receive a message (Codex) is never asked: the cap keeps rotation off its account instead, and says so.

Setting one

From the account's menu, Cap…. The sheet is titled "Cap work":

• a percent, 10 to 99;
• Use past it only when no other account has room or Never go past it;
• No Cap removes it; Cancel and Save.

A capped account's row and Today say so in terracotta, with the percent.
