Overage Protection

Overage Protection is available on the Pro plan and helps prevent unexpected charges by controlling how many API calls your application can make each month.

How It Works

Each Pro plan includes a monthly API call allowance. By default, your overage limit is set to 0, which means:

• You will not be billed for additional API calls beyond your plan’s monthly allowance.
• Once your monthly limit is reached, API requests will return an error response instead of continuing to process.

This prevents accidental overage charges.

Adding Additional API Calls

If you expect higher usage, you can increase your overage limit from your dashboard. When enabled:

• Additional API calls are billed in 1,000-call increments.
• Overage fees are typically $1 per 1,000 additional API calls (subject to current pricing).

Charges are applied at the end of the billing cycle.

When Should I Adjust My Overage Limit?

You may want to increase your overage limit if:

• Your app usage fluctuates month to month
• You expect traffic spikes (e.g., events, launches, seasonal use)
• You want to avoid service interruptions when your limit is reached

If you prefer strict usage control with no additional billing, you can keep your overage limit set to 0.
