You don’t lose access to anything you’ve already imported. Every recipe you import is yours to keep — recipes don’t expire, and you can continue viewing, organizing, editing, searching, and cooking from your library.The weekly limit only affects new recipe imports. Once you’ve saved 5 recipes for the week, you cannot import any more until a slot frees up, or you can upgrade to Souschef Plus for unlimited imports.See Recipe import limits for more detail, including how quota is used when you save a recipe.
No. An import counts toward your free limit only when you tap Save. You can review the preview and leave without saving, and that attempt does not use a slot.Failed imports do not count either. Once you have saved 5 recipes in the current 7-day window, you cannot import any more until a slot frees up or you upgrade to Souschef Plus.See How import quota works.
