What happens if your license changes after automatic enablement?

Here’s what happens if a user's license changes following the automatic enablement period:

• User is upgraded to eligible entitlements post-enablement
  • Administrators are required to manually provide Agentforce Coworker access to these individuals.
  • The user transitions to an unmetered status as soon as the seat is assigned.
• User loses their seat post-enablement
  • While access to Agentforce Coworker is maintained through the primary Salesforce license, the billing structure returns to the standard Flex Credits or Data Services Credits model.

Is there a limit to the number of searches I can do?

Yes, with a seat-based license, there's currently a maximum of 30 Large Language Model (LLM) calls per minute per user. Note that a single question you ask Agentforce Coworker can trigger multiple LLM calls and searches behind the scenes - so your effective search rate will be lower than 30 per minute. This usage limit isn't currently technically enforced within the product interface. Salesforce reserves the right to limit usage for Agentforce Coworker.
