Status: DRAFT - needs approval
Blocker on claim accuracy: his suggestion is built in v2.0.65/2.0.66, but wp.org still serves v2.0.64 (never SVN-pushed). Draft says "next release", not "update now". Do not strengthen that claim until SVN lands.
Verified: manual Generate has no cadence gate
saiap_save_settings_and_generate_post (generate.php:781) has no limit/cap/posts_per_week check. Separate path from the autopilot cron. Status follows saiap_review_before_publish.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for confirming, all noted. Titles stay as they are, and I have you down for Standard.
Your licensing suggestion is a good one, and it is already built. The next plugin update caps the posts per week dropdown at whatever your plan allows, so a Standard license will not offer 14 per week at all. Where an option would exceed your plan you get a short note and an upgrade link instead of a setting that silently does not stick. That goes out in the next release.
On your Generate question: manual generation sits on top of your daily schedule rather than replacing it. If today's post has already gone out or is queued, clicking Generate creates an extra post right then, and your scheduled one still runs as normal. Whether it publishes immediately or waits as a draft follows your "Review first" setting.
There is a fair-use allowance on manual generation rather than a fixed number of posts. Articles vary a lot in how much work they take behind the scenes, research, image searches, length, so a short piece and a long researched one are not equivalent. For the occasional extra post you will not come near it. If you are ever planning a big batch, say the word first and I will make sure it goes through.
Keep the observations coming. This kind of detail is genuinely useful.
Christian
