If a workspace ends up over its plan, a countdown banner gives it a grace period, during which everything keeps working. A **billing lock** is the screen that blocks the dashboard when there is no plan, a payment is overdue, or the grace period has ended. Warmup and campaign sending pause while it lasts, and nothing is deleted. See [Plans & limits](https://warmerly.com/docs/plans-and-limits#billing-lock).
