Plan limits

Active paid plans produce clean exports. Active trial users can evaluate previews and are prompted to add billing details before clean production exports. If a subscription payment is past due, exports carry a ContractorCounter watermark until payment clears; expired-trial and cancelled accounts need an active subscription to export.
