What happens if I go over the limit on Starter or Pro?

Paid plans don’t hard-stop at the included quota – they keep processing, and requests beyond the quota are billed as pay-as-you-go overage: €0.025/request on Starter and €0.015/request on Pro. See the pricing page for the full plan breakdown.

No interruption mid-month

There’s no overage cap, so your service isn’t interrupted mid-month. A request past the quota returns the same validation result as any other; it is simply counted as overage. The 429 RATE_LIMITED response is not part of normal use on these plans.

How you stay informed

• The dashboard shows live usage.
• We email you at 80% of your plan quota, so there are no surprises.
• Every live response carries RateLimit-* headers. RateLimit-Remaining counts down to zero against your base quota, which lets you build your own alert from your logs.

Annual billing

Annual billing works the same way. Your quota resets every month, and unused requests don’t roll over. If you go over in a given month, that month’s overage is billed then – pay-as-you-go, uncapped – on top of your annual charge.

If you want a bigger quota

If you regularly pass your included quota, compare plans on the pricing page. Moving to a higher plan is done from the dashboard, and upgrades take effect immediately.
