Free plan (default): 3 custom voice slots in My Voices. Default/Legacy voices don’t count toward this. [help.elevenlabs.io: How many voice slots do I get per tier and how can I increase it?] ((help.elevenlabs.io))
Professional Voice Clones (PVC) slots by tier: Free/Starter: 0; Creator/Pro/Scale: 1; Business: 3; Enterprise: custom. [help.elevenlabs.io: How many Professional Voice Clones (PVCs) can I have?] ((help.elevenlabs.io))
Short answer: Instant Voice Cloning is a paid feature. It’s available starting on the Starter plan and is not included on the Free plan. (elevenlabs.io)
About “30 seconds”: that isn’t a free usage window. It refers to the length of audio some users have successfully used for cloning. Official guidance recommends at least 1 minute of clean audio for Instant Voice Cloning (1–2 minutes ideal). (elevenlabs.io)
Why you couldn’t create one:
If you’re on the Free plan, cloning is disabled. Upgrade to Starter (or higher) to unlock it. (elevenlabs.io)
If you already upgraded, you may have run out of custom voice slots (Free: 3; Starter: 10; etc.) or hit your monthly “voice operations” quota; both can block new voice creation. (help.elevenlabs.io)
How to proceed:
Check your current plan (My Account → Subscription) and upgrade if needed. (elevenlabs.io)
Then create a clone via Voices → Add a new voice → Instant Voice Clone, and upload 1–2 minutes of high‑quality, single‑speaker audio. (elevenlabs.io)
If you meant a different feature (e.g., Voice Changer or Music), tell me which one and I’ll confirm the current plan requirements. (elevenlabs.io)
