FAQ

When do credits reset?

Per-minute credits reset every 60 seconds. Daily credits reset 24 hours after your first request of the day.

What happens if I run out of credits?

You'll receive a 429 (Too Many Requests) error with headers indicating when your credits will reset. You can wait for the reset or upgrade to a higher plan.

Can I buy more credits without upgrading?

Currently, we only offer subscription plans. If you need higher limits, consider upgrading to Pro or contact us for enterprise solutions.

Do unused credits roll over?

No, credits reset on a fixed schedule and do not accumulate. This ensures fair resource distribution for all users.
