Did you create an account, then? Maybe they've changed how things work, but you used to get 100 recognitions for free, even after the initial trial.
Idk how much it costs, I have not paid a dime. But I think the service is more geared toward business users than your average person.

You should get it back just by refreshing the tab, though. it's a Firefox bug.

update: it listens for 5 seconds, so the "0th second" as well, and then it stop recording.

Frozen, you say? Is this your own account? I don't get that message on the preset one.

Edit: any emails must've gone straight into my junk folder, and gotten deleted, I think. I updated the email, try that one.

The add-on uses the same account for everybody (unless you add your own). I guess you live in a timezone where everyone else has already used it up for the day.

I can't reproduce, seems to work fine for me on YouTube.

No such limit, that was just a coincidence, there is a limit on the pre-set account, which is hitting its limits.

Cannot do a thing about that, unfortunately.
