Questions about the Free Challenge Limit
Before writing this, I attempted to find documentation about this topic and also tried the AI Help, but it was unable to answer my questions.
- Is the 10 free challenge limit per course or per account?
- Is this a hard limit, or does it reset periodically?
Personal Experience
While I understand the necessity of a limit for free accounts, it caught me by surprise. I wasn’t aware of it until a modal informed me that I’d hit the limit for free challenges. Assuming I had overlooked this information, I explored the site further but couldn’t find any mentions outside of the initial modal. I was somewhat disappointed to realize I’d used my 10 free challenges on a beginner-level course. I chose an easy course on a familiar topic to get a feel for the platform before diving into more complex subjects I need to study and practice.
Suggestions
A confirmation prompt and notification about the limit the first time I clicked “Submit” within a challenge would have been helpful. Additionally, a counter or indicator visible from the main course interface would assist new users in making informed decisions about their platform usage from the start. Lastly, I was surprised not to find information about the free challenge limit in the Documentation. It would be beneficial to see more detailed information added to the docs as Scrimba continues to grow.
