      "A client can write a personal question before choosing a reader.",

Some new client accounts must make an initial balance deposit before submitting, even though the question and reply themselves are free. An answer is not guaranteed: a question is answered only when a reader claims it. The entry is an introduction, not a channel: once a question of theirs has been answered, a client cannot send a new one through it, and the conversation continues in ordinary chat with that reader.",
      "Each reader sets how many of a client's chat messages are free with them — 3 by default, and some readers set none and charge from the first message. The allowance belongs to one client-and-reader pair and never resets, and it is bounded across readers by a platform-wide ceiling on free messages, so what remains is the count shown in the client's own chat with that reader rather than an allowance renewed by each new reader.",
