exceedsPlanLimitboolean

Cloud only. true when the agent falls outside the organization plan agent limit (by creation order among active agents — inactive agents do not consume slots). Only plan limits produce this flag — system-capped organizations (enterprise/unlimited tiers) are never over-limit. Over-limit agents are still stored but will not respond to inbound messages until the plan is upgraded or older agents are deactivated.
