What happened
Apple updated Logic Pro with a "Buy More Usage" option priced at a one-time $49.99 purchase for Intelligence Usage Packs, which let users continue accessing Apple Intelligence features that have usage limits because they rely on cloud-based AI models from OpenAI or Google Gemini.
Why it matters
The option signals that some Apple Intelligence features in Logic Pro come with a usage cap tied to cloud-based AI, and users who hit that cap can pay $49.99 for additional access. Apple says the Logic Pro usage limit is "impacted by the complexity of conversations you have with the assistant."
WHO IT HITSLogic Pro users who rely on the built-in AI assistant and run into usage limits now have a paid way to continue access. The same option is expected to reach other Apple Creator Studio apps this month, affecting users of those apps as well.

Apple's move follows a support article published in early September that outlined usage limits for some Apple Intelligence features. Those limits exist because certain features rely on cloud-based AI models from OpenAI or Google Gemini, and the new Intelligence Usage Packs give users a way to keep accessing them beyond the cap.
The purchase option appears first in Logic Pro, where Apple says the limit is "impacted by the complexity of conversations you have with the assistant." Users who run out of access can find the option in the Intelligence Features > Show Usage section of the app's main menu.
Apple expects the feature to reach other Apple Creator Studio apps this month, including Pixelmator Pro, Final Cut Pro, Motion, plus Pages, Keynote, and Numbers that are getting access to Apple's AI chatbot. That suggests the usage-pack model may spread across Apple's creative and productivity apps, though Apple has not said how limits will be set in those apps.
