Why doesn't my Fillout submission count match my billing period?

What causes it?

1. Fillout counts submissions by calendar month, so the count can reset on a different day from when your plan renews.

   In the Fillout help: Submission counts are measured per calendar month, not per billing cycle. View form responses, read 2026-11-12.

2. A response is counted in the month it is finished, not the month it was started.

   In the Fillout help: A submission counts toward the month it was completed in. View form responses, read 2026-11-12.

3. Responses sent while testing the form in preview are not counted, so they will not show in the monthly figure.

   In the Fillout help: Test responses submitted in preview mode don't count. View form responses, read 2026-11-12.

How do I check it myself?

1. If you use a saved view, check its dates, since a saved view keeps the dates it was saved with.

   In the Fillout help: A saved view keeps fixed dates. View form responses, read 2026-11-12.

2. Set the date filter to the exact period you are comparing before reading the count.

   In the Fillout help: Click All time to filter by date. View form responses, read 2026-11-12.

How does Fillout work with Feder?

• Connect Fillout to Feder and it joins your Interest apps.
• When you connect Fillout, Feder checks the connection straight away and shows Connected only when that check passes. If a reading cannot be taken later, Feder shows it as not read, never as zero.

Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.

See whether you can trust the numbers in Fillout, one of your Interest apps. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in Fillout.
