What runs out, and what happens then

Pricing tables list what a plan includes. They rarely say what happens at the limit, which is the thing that decides whether a limit is survivable.

Rendered live in your current theme — this is the same component whose source is below, not a screenshot of it.

/**
 * <PlanLimitsList> — What actually runs out on each plan, including what happens when it does — the row a pricing table leaves off.
 *
 * Pricing tables list what a plan includes. They rarely say what happens at
 * the limit, and that is the fact which decides whether a limit is
 * survivable — the layout problem is that "10 GB storage" and "10 GB
 * storage, then read-only" are the same row in every pricing table ever
 * built.
 *
 * So each row's badge is hard or soft, and the detail says what the system
 * actually does. The obvious wrong answer is a checkmark grid, which cannot
 * express "throttled, not cut off" at all.
 *
 * The retention row is the one that earns the block. It is a hard limit
 * whose consequence is deletion, and it is the row a pricing table would
 * never carry — which is precisely why putting it here builds more trust
 * than the three friendly rows above it.
 *
 * The API row states that you are told at 80%. A soft limit with no warning
 * is a hard limit that arrives as a surprise, and saying where the warning
 * fires is what makes "soft" mean something.
 *
 * Rows are buttons with `aria-pressed` because a real implementation opens
 * the current usage behind each one. `status` and `tone` are separate so
 * "hard" reads as hard for someone who cannot see that it is red — which on
 * a page about what gets deleted matters more than most. The demo selects
 * the first row.

Before you paste

  • Styling is Tailwind utility classes on semantic tokens (bg-card, text-muted-foreground) — it inherits your theme instead of overriding it.
  • Nothing to install. No component library, no icon package.
  • Every prop has a default, so it renders standalone before you wire it up.

Where it goes

Drop it at components/plan-limits-list.tsx and import it where you need the section:

import { PlanLimitsList } from '@/components/plan-limits-list'

Customize

1 of this block’s props are simple enough to drive from here. Change them and the block below re-renders — it is the same component whose source is above, not a mock of it. Everything else it accepts is in the table underneath.

Props

Read out of the component’s own type and signature, so this cannot drift from the source below. Every prop has a default — the component renders standalone before you pass it anything.

Not using React?

The same block rendered once to markup, wrapped as a file your framework compiles. Tailwind classes are framework-agnostic, so the design transfers intact — the behaviour does not.

This block is interactive. The markup below is its initial state with the event handlers stripped — you will need to re-wire the behaviour in your framework.

plan-limits-list.html
<!--
  Plan Limits List — markup from the Hoverlab catalog.

  This is the block rendered once to HTML and wrapped as a component
  file. It is not a port of the React source: the Tailwind classes carry
  the design, which is the part that took the work, and they are the same
  in every framework.

  This block is interactive in React and the handlers are NOT here.
  Buttons, toggles and menus render in their initial state and do
  nothing until you wire them up.

  • This is rendered HTML, not a translation of the React source. The Tailwind classes carry the design and work in any framework.
  • It is one frame: the component in its initial state, with no props applied beyond the defaults.
  • This block is interactive in React — toggles, menus or form state. None of that survives here; the markup is the closed/default state and the handlers are gone. Re-wire them in your own framework.
  • Requires Tailwind, and the design tokens the classes reference (bg-card, text-muted-foreground, and so on). The template ZIPs ship a globals.css that defines them.

What each framework gets across the whole catalog — effects convert properly; this rung is markup.
