AI tooling becomes the product; Content AI ditches credits for per-feature monthly limits.

◆Current state
RankMath's recent releases are dominated by AI feature distribution and reach. v3.0.112 replaced the shared Content AI credit pool with per-feature monthly limits — a substantive shift in how users hit (and don't hit) the AI ceiling. AI Link Genius, introduced in v3.0.108, has gained UI polish and broader role access in each release since. Non-AI work this window is maintenance-grade: Schema fixes, Keyword Map edge cases, multisite migration foreign-key cleanup.
◆Where it's heading
The product center of gravity has clearly shifted from traditional SEO heuristics to AI tooling, and the team is steadily lowering the activation friction around it — role permissions, monthly limits, UI cleanup. Each release threads a small unlock for AI users alongside a routine fix pass. The non-AI surface is being kept alive rather than extended.
◆Prediction
Expect the feature-based usage model to extend beyond Content AI into Link Genius or whatever AI surface ships next, and continued role-gating that funnels AI capability into team-tier upgrades.

    Link Genius access broadened, AI Traffic data fix, News Sitemap filter

    Content AI moves from credits to per-feature monthly limits

    ⚡ SPARK

    Replaces the Content AI credit pool with feature-based monthly limits. This is the most directional change in the recent window — it changes how users hit the AI ceiling and removes the most common mid-task wall, tying AI usage to the feature instead of a generic balance.

    v3.0.111: Link Genius and Schema fixes, multisite migration cleanup

    Targeted fix pass: Link Genius keyword-map detection when the target URL is already in the content, a multisite foreign-key warning from the Link Genius migration, and Schema ListItem import. The Link Genius surface continues to absorb the most attention.
