Request Limits

Request limits control how many API calls your account or API key can make during a plan cycle.

They are separate from usage credits.

Request Limits vs Usage Credits​

Usage credits measure how much content is processed.

Request limits measure how many API requests are sent.

For example:

  • A short text request may use few credits but still count as one request.
  • A large file request may use more credits but still count as one request.
  • If either credits or request allowance runs out, access may be limited.

How Request Limits Are Shown​

You can view request usage in:

The dashboard may show:

  • Requests used.
  • Request limit.
  • Requests remaining.
  • Percentage of request limit used.

How Request Limits Relate to Plans​

Each plan includes a request allowance.

Higher-tier plans usually include more requests per cycle. Custom plans may include negotiated limits based on the use case.

When the Request Limit Is Reached​

When the request limit is reached, new requests may fail even if some usage credits remain.

To continue using the API, you may need to:

  • Wait for the next renewal cycle.
  • Upgrade or change plans.
  • Contact support for a custom limit.
