Rate tiers

Burst limits applied in addition to the monthly allotment. Independent of plan quota — both must pass for a request to proceed.

When you exceed a limit

  • Plan allotment exhausted, wallet has credit: the request proceeds and the per-call overage rate is debited from your wallet.
  • Plan allotment exhausted, wallet empty (or plan is Free): the request is rejected with HTTP 402 (wallet insufficient) or 429 (plan limit), with planLimit and upgradeUrl in the response body.
  • Burst rate exceeded: HTTP 429 with Retry-After header. This applies before the monthly allotment check.

Operational Metrics

The platform records raw cpu_ms, normalized compute units, and average per-request CPU utilization signals for usage analysis. These appear in /usage, project Usage & Quotas, and admin usage screens. They are observability metrics today, not plan enforcement limits.
