v1 status. The v1 Docker bundle runs the editing server on the upstream open-source image, for internal testing only. The DEV image has its own cap of 20 connections and 10 documents, so on a DEV machine editing sessions stop at about 20 even though /o3o/status reports the Community limit of 50; on this image the Community edition does not reach 50 connections. Using a plan's full connection count, including every Enterprise order, needs the O3O image built from source; orders above 50 connections also need that image built with a large enough cap. The O3O image built from source: coming soon.

What counts as a connection

1 connection = 1 concurrent editing session: one document window opened with edit permission on the editing server.

Counting follows the session's edit permission, not whether anyone is typing: someone with edit permission who opens a document only to read it still uses 1 connection; only sessions opened with read-only permission (permission=readonly or UserCanWrite=false) are not counted.

  • One person with 3 documents open for editing: 3 connections.
  • Three people editing the same document: 3 connections.
  • One person with edit permission who opens a document only to read it, without typing: 1 connection.
  • Ten people opening a report with read-only permission: 0 connections.
  • A system asking DocBuilder to convert 1,000 files to PDF: 0 connections (DocBuilder has its own per-plan limits).

Not counted: sessions opened with read-only permission; any DocBuilder request, including file conversion with POST /v1/convert; health checks and configuration queries of the editing server. The conversion path built into the editing server (/cool/convert-to) is not exposed through the proxy: calls from outside get 404.

How it is measured: the gate reads the number of sessions with edit permission every 10 seconds and enforces the limit on the instantaneous count (including sessions just admitted but not yet sampled). Reports and reconciliation use the 5-minute sliding peak. After a network drop, reopening the same document within 120 seconds is still admitted even at the limit, under the reconnect grace slot the gate keeps for a document whose editing session has just closed.

Minimum 50 connections per order. The tier price applies to all connections in the order.

The tier price applies to all connections in the order; it is not split progressively across tiers. Each order is at least 50 connections; below that, the free Community edition already provides 50 connections.

The never-pay-more rule

Because the unit price drops by tier, buying fewer connections can cost more than buying more. Annual example: 190 connections × 5 USD = 950 USD, while 201 connections × 4.5 USD is only 904.5 USD. The rule: the amount charged for n connections is the cheapest amount over every level m ≥ n (and m ≥ 50). When a higher level is cheaper, you pay that level and are granted exactly the connection count of that level: the invoice states 201 connections × 4.5 USD and the license token grants exactly 201 connections, not 190.

Pricing FAQ

How is a connection counted?

A connection is one concurrent editing session: one document window opened with edit permission. One person with three documents open is three connections; three people editing one document is also three connections. Counting follows the session's edit permission, not whether anyone is typing: someone with edit permission who opens a document only to read it still uses 1 connection; only sessions opened with read-only permission (permission=readonly or UserCanWrite=false) are not counted. DocBuilder work is not counted. The gate samples every 10 seconds; reports use the 5-minute sliding peak.

Why am I billed for 201 when I enter 190?

Because 201 connections at the lower tier price cost less than exactly 190 at the higher one (904.5 USD versus 950 USD). Under the never-pay-more rule you pay the lower amount and are granted exactly 201 connections: the invoice states 201 connections × 4.5 USD and the license token carries exactly 201 connections. The same applies to perpetual licenses, for example 450 connections are billed at 501: 4,008 USD instead of 4,050 USD.

What happens when all connections are in use?

Open sessions are never cut and saving is never blocked. Someone opening an additional editing session sees a notice page with two buttons: open the document read-only, or try again. With the embedded editor the document still opens, read-only, and the page receives the onLimitReached event. After a network drop, reopening the same document within 120 seconds is still admitted even at the limit, under the reconnect grace slot the gate keeps for a document whose editing session has just closed. A view-only user opening a document from Nextcloud while the limit is reached may also see this notice first, because the gate does not yet know the session's permission when the page loads; the read-only button lets them in without using a connection. Soft overage for Enterprise: coming soon.

Does the Community edition expire?

No. It needs no license token, has no expiry date and works offline. Its limits are 50 concurrent connections, no white-labelling and a limited DocBuilder API (see the comparison table).

Why does a DEV test machine stop at about 20 editing sessions?

The DEV image has its own cap of 20 connections and 10 documents, so on a DEV machine editing sessions stop at about 20 even though /o3o/status reports the Community limit of 50; on this image the Community edition does not reach 50 connections. Using a plan's full connection count, including every Enterprise order, needs the O3O image built from source; orders above 50 connections also need that image built with a large enough cap. The O3O image built from source: coming soon. To test the limit behaviour on a DEV machine, set O3O_GATE_CONNECTION_CAP=2.

How does Enterprise with 50 connections differ from Community?

At 50 connections the connection count is the same as Community. The difference is in features and limits: template filling with POST /v1/template/render, job completion callbacks and higher DocBuilder limits (requests per minute, file size, result retention, script size). White-labelling belongs to Enterprise but is currently coming soon.

What happens when an annual subscription expires?

For 7 days after the expiry date the server keeps running as Enterprise. After that it falls back to Community (50 connections) without stopping; open sessions are unaffected and only new sessions are checked against the new limit.

What does perpetual with 3 years of updates mean?

You pay once and use the purchased connections indefinitely. For 3 years you may run every new release. The license token records when update rights end: releases built after that date will not accept the token and run as Community, while releases built before it keep running as Enterprise. The price for renewing update rights after 3 years has not been published yet; please contact us.

Are taxes included? Which currency do I pay in?

Prices are listed in USD. The VND amount in the calculator is for reference only, at 26,000 VND per USD rounded up to 1,000 VND. When you pay in VND, the USD to VND exchange rate is fixed and stored when the order is created, and the payment QR code keeps that exact amount. If an order expires unpaid, a new order is created at the exchange rate of that moment. VAT is confirmed in the formal quotation from o3o.vn.

What about more than 500 connections?

The current table applies the price of the tier from 501 connections (3.5 USD per year or 8 USD perpetual) to any larger number. For very large orders, please contact us.

Does DocBuilder use connections?

No. DocBuilder has its own per-plan limits: Community allows 10 requests per minute and 200 per day; Enterprise allows 60 requests per minute for every 50 purchased connections (rounded up, minimum 60, maximum 3,000) with no daily limit. For example, 120 connections allow 180 requests per minute.
