On August 10, 2026, Suno announced that from September 3, 2026 downloads would be capped by plan, and that updated Terms of Service would take effect the same day. Suno published the announcement on its blog as An update to our downloads policy and Terms of Service, signed Team Suno.

What changed

Free plan: up to seven trial downloads in total (a lifetime limit), which did not refresh monthly.
Pro and Premier plans: Pro allowed 20 downloads per month and Premier allowed 60 per month. Premier subscribers using Suno Studio had no limit.
Extra downloads: users who reached their limit could buy extra downloads; no prices were listed.
Scope: the limits applied to all downloads from September 3, including songs created before that date. Every song stayed playable and shareable on Suno on every plan.
Commercial use: trial downloads were for personal use only and not eligible for commercial use, while songs downloaded on paid plans remained the user's to use commercially or personally.
Terms of Service: the updated terms also took effect on September 3, clarifying rights in content and rules for commercial use, and updating the Arbitration Agreement and rules for mass arbitrations.

What it meant for people making music with Suno

Creators who exported Suno songs for releases or client work had to plan around the monthly download caps and the personal-use-only status of free trial downloads. Suno said limiting downloads would make it harder for bad actors to mass-export music.

Models mentioned in the announcement

The post said models built with music industry partners were coming and that all prior models would be retired when they launched.
