Quick answers

1. What happens if I connect more repositories than my plan allows?

   When you connect more repositories than your plan allows, scanning pauses on the extra ones. They stop being rescanned, but all data collected stays exactly as it was and remains readable. Nothing is deleted for any reason related to payment. When you raise your plan, rescanning resumes, with the newest repositories pausing first so your oldest connected repositories continue scanning.

2. How does libyears handle billing and payments?

   Payments are processed by Lemon Squeezy as the merchant of record, so VAT, GST, and sales tax appear on your invoice and you never send a card number to libyears. You can cancel at any time; your plan runs until the end of the period you paid for and then automatically drops to the Free plan. Nothing is deleted for not paying.

3. What does libyears measure in its dependency analysis?

   libyears measures how many years each dependency is behind the latest version, the number of major version changes required to update, identifies dependencies that are end-of-life, and flags dangerous dependencies based on OSV advisories. It also calculates a health score and categorizes issues as urgent or quick wins based on the severity and ease of fixing.
