docs: update pricing for free-plan credit limit stop behavior

[tembo]

What changed

Updated resources/pricing.mdx to reflect that a running session on the Free plan is now stopped immediately if it exceeds the free credit allowance mid-session, rather than being allowed to run to completion.

Why

The docs previously stated a blanket rule that "work that has already started can continue its current session" once the allowance runs out. That's no longer true for the Free plan: a shipped change now force-stops in-progress Free-plan sessions as soon as they exceed the free credit limit, and shows an explanatory message in the chat.

Evidence

• monorepo PR #10508 — "Stop session immediately when free-plan credit limit is exceeded"
• apps/api/src/services/creditLimitEnforcement.ts (new in that PR): stopSessionIfFreePlanOverLimit checks entitlements.plan.isFree and, when out of credits, calls stopSessionForCreditLimit, which stops the session and emits a chat-visible message: "You've used all of your free credits, so this session has been stopped. Add funds or upgrade your plan to keep building."
• apps/api/src/services/tokenUsage.ts calls this check right after each model call's token usage is recorded, so it only applies to isFree orgs (Pro/Max behavior is unchanged).

Confidence

This is a high-confidence update: it corrects an exact, code-verified behavior change (session continuation vs. immediate stop) for a specific, well-defined plan tier (Free), directly supported by the merged implementation and its tests. No wording, positioning, or unreleased/experimental behavior is involved.
