Do test responses count towards my response limit?

You can generate AI test responses once your form is published. AI-generated responses do not count toward your response limits. They also do not affect your form performance metrics. Learn more about how AI-generated responses work.

However, responses you manually create or receive through a published form will count towards your response limit. This means that if you have a response limit of 100 monthly responses and receive 3 responses to a form, you'll have 97 responses remaining for the month. This is also true for responses that have been submitted as “tests” by the form’s creator.

If you delete a response, the response won't be deducted from the total responses you have collected for that month. This means that if you have a response limit of 100 monthly responses, collect 3 responses, then delete those responses; you'll still have 97 responses remaining for the month.

Furthermore, you won’t be able to see the content of deleted responses on Typeform - see our guide on what happens when responses are deleted.

Response limits automatically reset every month. Unfortunately, Typeform cannot manually reset or expand your response limit if you've collected test responses through a published form.

How to test your form

To test that your form works properly without collecting actual responses, open the form in the Create panel.

Click the Preview button (play icon) in the toolbar.
