Why do I see a "high-level summary instructions were not applied" error, even though I am on a Pro subscription plan?

Last updated: March 30, 2026

Context

The user may see an error message like this Note: Your high-level summary instructions were not applied because this feature is currently available only to Pro plan users on your pull requests, even though you believe you are on a Pro subscription plan. This can be confusing when you expect to have access to high-level summary instruction features.

Answer

This error typically occurs when the account is on the Pro Legacy plan (no longer being offered), which does not include high-level summary instruction functionality. The high-level summary instructions feature is available only on the current Pro plan, not the legacy version.

To enable access to high-level summary instructions, the organization must be upgraded from the Pro Legacy plan to the current Pro plan.

Upgrade steps:

  • Visit the CodeRabbit pricing page to review the features included in the current Pro plan

  • Contact CodeRabbit support for assistance with the upgrade process

  • After upgrading to the current Pro plan, the high-level summary instructions feature will be available for pull requests

Additional Information

The distinction between the Pro Legacy plan and the current Pro plan explains why this limitation appears despite being labeled as a “Pro” subscription. The legacy plan has a different set of features and does not include newer capabilities such as high-level summary instructions.
