I would love to see the functionality that a user could add in their own kml to planet to view areas and before allowing it to be opened it would show how much area is going to be opened and how much that user has left in their subscription. In my line of work, we are always rushing to get areas open and as planet does a good job most of the time to get the area opened quickly it is very frustrating when we can’t get the area opened quickly. Having to go through the ticketing system just to get an area open seems to be an unnecessary workflow and I think it would make everyone's experience better if we had full control to open what we want, when we want. 

Thank you

Case and point. Last week We sent in some areas on a Friday at noon to get opened Monday came around and nothing. By this time Monday morning we had three other areas we needed to have open due to a rush on our work we had a deadline to view these areas for our workflow. After multiple messages and 4 days later on Thursday morning there are now all open six areas in total. Almost a full week just to get an area open which delayed our work. This is why this Idea would be pivotal. We used to get areas open in a day or less now it is almost taking a week. Since planet has switched to the ticketing system and away from personal leads processing requests things have really fallen off. I really hope my idea gets pushed so that we can cut out the middleman.
