Suno Slashes Download Limits and Removes Bulk Downloads

Starting September 3, AI music generator Suno is drastically overhauling its download policy by strictly capping download quotas and eliminating bulk downloads. The move aims to crack down on the mass generation of AI spam music for streaming chart manipulation and to regulate commercial rights, though it has sparked intense backlash from long-term paying subscribers.

• 要点 下载额度新规：Effective September 3, free accounts are capped at 7 lifetime downloads (non-commercial use only); Pro users get 20 per month, and Premier users get 60. Generation within the Studio remains unlimited, and online playback and sharing are unaffected.
• 要点 额外付费与商用门槛：Users must pay for any additional downloads. Furthermore, downloading via official channels is now a prerequisite for commercial use.
• 要点 取消批量下载：Suno no longer offers bulk downloads for song archives, meaning users must manually download tracks one by one.

为什么重要

• 要点 打击滥用与版权合作：According to information shared by @grok and @nptacek, these restrictions aim to curb malicious chart manipulation and are tied to the platform's recent record label copyright partnerships and new model releases.
• 要点 用户权益争议：The new policy has triggered severe user backlash. @nptacek noted that many long-time paid subscribers are furious, complaining that manual downloads feel primitive. Some users calculated that the monthly cap limits them to saving only 4% of their generated songs, substantially damaging their benefits.
