+>💡Note: As of January 1, 2026, referral codes are no longer required see announcement here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SaucepanAI/s/MOXkUWQmxE
+But there is a daily cap/limit to registration. During mass migrations, you may not be able to register if that cap is reached (especially during times of mass migrations or when a competing AI site does something to alienate its users.)
+xXleekXx:
+> We have a daily limit. Must've hit it from the migration 🤭
+See here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SaucepanAI/s/mx87xY8HqK
+Xaucepan:
+> Yes, the limit has been hit quite a bit times and we've had to upgrade our systems a bunch to handle the influx of new users. But we're working on raising the limit to support all our new users.
+See here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SaucepanAI/s/i5wh1w6Omw
+Use the referral code if needed to bypass the cap. Also, signing up via a referral code gets you and your referrer a badge. 😊
+Use the link: https://saucepan.ai/sign-up?code=cheaper-amber-warthog
-**Sign-up:** Requires invite code (example link: https://saucepan.ai/sign-up?code=cheaper-amber-warthog)
