# Increased Hobby usage limits for Image Optimization

By Steven Van · 2025-03-07

Hobby teams now get 5K image transformations, 300K cache reads and 100K cache writes a month, up from 3K, 180K and 60K.

Hobby teams on [Vercel](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/vercel>) get more included Image Optimization usage each month, [according to the pricing and limits page](<https://vercel.com/docs/image-optimization/limits-and-pricing>):

- Image transformations: from 3K to **5K** per month

- Image cache reads: from 180K to **300K** per month

- Image cache writes: from 60K to **100K** per month

Hobby teams that go over the limits are not charged. New images fail to optimize and return a 402 error, while images already cached keep working.
