FAQ

Subscriptions

Can I use my Claude Max or ChatGPT Plus subscription?

Yes. Claude Code, Codex, opencode and Gemini CLI all sign in with a personal subscription, and Overnite runs those same official programs, signed in to your own account: sign in once inside the agent's terminal (Agents) and every workspace after that uses the login.

What a subscription allows is set by its provider's terms, not ours - read them before you plan work around one: Anthropic's Consumer Terms and Usage Policy, OpenAI's Terms of Use, Google's Gemini CLI terms. In practice:

• A subscription is one person's. Use it for your own agents. Do not sign a workspace other people use into your subscription, or share one login across a team.
• Subscriptions have usage allowances built for a person at a keyboard - a budget per few hours and per week. Several agents working through the night can use one up, and an agent that hits the limit stops until it resets.
• For team work, unattended schedules, or anything commercial at scale, use an API key. It is billed per token under the provider's commercial terms, has limits you can raise, and nothing expires.

Overnite does not check whether your plan permits a use, and is not affiliated with Anthropic, OpenAI or Google. If a provider limits or suspends an account, that is between you and them.

A key and a login - which one is used?

The key. Every CLI prefers the key in its environment to a stored login. Remove the key in Settings → Agents to use the subscription.

Do I have to sign in again in every workspace?

No. The sign-in files are kept for you, encrypted, and put back into each new workspace before anything starts. If a provider signs you out - a password change, a revoked session - sign in once more, in any workspace.

Cost

What does Overnite cost?

Nothing during the beta. Plans & limits has what is planned after it and what the limits are today.

Who pays for the model?

You do, directly, to your model provider: through your API key or your subscription. Overnite never resells tokens and never marks them up, and your provider bill never passes through us.

How do I keep model spend down?

• Give tasks a clear finish line; "fix the failing test in auth.test.ts" ends, "improve the code" does not.
• For open-ended work, start the agent on Ask and steer it; leave Auto for well-defined tasks.
• Set spending limits at your provider - Anthropic's and OpenAI's consoles both have them.
• Stop agents you are done with. An idle agent spends nothing, but a looping one does.

Data

Where does my code live?

On your workspace's disk, on Overnite's servers at Hetzner in Finland, in the EU. The repository is cloned there; agents' changes, branches and conversations stay there while the workspace sleeps, and are deleted with the workspace.

The cockpit and these docs are served by Vercel. Overnite's database - your account, workspaces, agent records and encrypted credentials - is on the same server in Finland.

Does my code go anywhere else?

To the model provider of each agent you run: an agent sends the files it works on and your instructions to Anthropic, OpenAI or Google, under your account and their terms - many of their servers are outside the EU. And to GitHub, when an agent pushes.

Overnite does not train models on your code, prompts or agent output, and does not sell your data. The Privacy Policy has the whole list.

Is my workspace backed up?

Not during the beta. A workspace's disk survives sleep, restarts and Overnite releases, but there is no copy elsewhere. Push branches you care about - an agent that opens a pull request already has.

How do I delete my data?

Delete a workspace to delete its machine and disk. Remove keys in Settings → Agents, disconnect connectors in Settings → Connectors, and uninstall the GitHub App on GitHub. To delete your account and everything left, email hello@overnite.dev.

Workspaces and agents

Does an agent keep working when I close my laptop?

Yes. The agent runs on Overnite's machine, not in your browser. Close the tab, and it carries on; a question it asks reaches your phone.

Why did my workspace go to sleep?

Nothing happened in it for 30 minutes - every agent idle, suspended or exited - or a question waited 6 hours without an answer. A working agent keeps it awake. Start it in the cockpit to wake it; suspended agents resume where they were (Plans & limits).

My agent says error.

Its provider refused it. Usually no key or login, a wrong key, or a usage limit. Read its terminal - the provider's message is there - and fix the credentials in Settings → Agents.

Can agents open pull requests on their own?

Yes. Every workspace can push to and open pull requests on its repository, through the GitHub App. Schedules and @overnitedev runs ask the agent to do so when it is done. Agents are never asked to merge: review the pull request, and merge it yourself.

Which repositories can agents touch?

Only the ones you installed the GitHub App on, and inside a workspace, only that workspace's repository (Security).
