You hit a limit mid-recording. Was the take lost?

No, the take isn't lost. Rekorder uploads your recording in the background while you're still recording, so when a limit stops the recording, everything already uploaded up to that point is kept and turned into a finished recording. It's just shorter than you intended.

What triggers this

On the free plan, recording is capped at 60 minutes of time and 1 GB of storage per account. If a recording reaches either cap while you're still recording, Rekorder stops it automatically and shows a "Recording stopped" message explaining which limit you hit.

What happens to the recording

• Nothing you had already recorded is discarded. Only the portion recorded after the limit was hit is not captured.
• The recording is finalized where it stopped and goes through the normal upload and processing steps, ending up in your library like any other recording.
• You don't need to do anything to save it. It's saved automatically.

Getting more room to record

If you want to keep recording longer next time:

• Free up your time or storage allowance by deleting recordings you no longer need.
• Upgrade to Pro. Pro has no recording time limit and no storage limit.
