Understanding Your Quotas

Each plan has limits on certain actions. Your current usage is displayed as:

• API Requests - API calls made (if applicable)

Progress bars show usage percentage. Colors indicate status:

• Green - Under 50% used
• Yellow - 50-80% used
• Orange - 80-99% used, approaching limit
• Red - Limit reached

When Quotas Reset

Depending on the limit type:

Your dashboard shows the exact reset time for each quota.
