An alert will notify you when you are approaching your limit.

If you happen to reach your limit during a call, you can finish that call but will not be able to make any more calls for the rest of the month.

Calling minutes reset at the start of each month.

If you're a super admin in a Sales Hub or Service Hub Professional or Enterprise account, you can purchase additional calling minutes from the Add-ons section on HubSpot's pricing page."
