Pantheon designed overage protection for Performance and Elite sites on annual plans to prevent one-time traffic spikes from causing billing issues. All Performance plans and higher on an annual plan include one month of overage protection, which provides billing protection against externally driven spikes, or for businesses that have an annual “big event” but otherwise operate at a lower “normal” rate. This protection resets with the calendar year and will be automatically applied the first month of the year your site goes over its plan limits. You as the site owner do not need to do a thing. In a month where overage protection is applied the site owner will be notified of the event and no other action will be taken. This notice is a great time to review your site's traffic to determine if it is time to move to a new plan and avoid the risk of a future overages bill. Qualified nonprofits receive additional overage protection at no extra cost, automatically applied. Refer to the [FAQ](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vaLJHXJJashwO9zsHFeywW-RQx_6uWOWH2Yr31sbQv4/edit?usp=sharing) to learn more about how to qualify for these and other benefits available only to Pantheon's nonprofit customers.
