It means we limit to 10,000 requests per 30 days **from the first request made**. This limit is called later "monthly rate limit" and is reset once the 30 days are over. # Burst rate limit Additionally, the API is protected by a burst rate limit. This means you can't make more than **5 requests per second**. # Rate limit response headers Each time you make a new request to the API, we will provide the following headers in the response: * `RateLimit-Monthly-Limit`: Your monthly rate limit, e.g the maximum number of API calls allowed per 30-day period (10k by default). * `RateLimit-Interval-Limit`: The burst rate limit, e.g the maximum number of API calls allowed per second (5 by default). * `RateLimit-Monthly-Remaining`: The total remaining API calls allowed for the current 30-day period. * `RateLimit-Interval-Remaining`: The total remaining API calls allowed for the current window of time (per second). * `Retry-After`: The number of seconds before the next time-frame where you'll be able to retry your API call. * `RateLimit-Reset`: The timestamp of the next monthly period from which your API rate calls will be reset. # What happens if I exceed my quota? Your request will be rejected and you'll receive an `HTTP 429` response code. From this point, you'll have to wait for the required time to make new successful API calls. If this happens, use the `Retry-After` and `RateLimit-Reset` to retry your API call. > 📘 Need higher limits? > > If you need to upgrade your monthly API rate limit, you can increase this limit by buying an Add-on. Please contact your account manager or our support team at for more information (kindly note that this upgrade is only possible for Business and Enterprise [plans](https://livestorm.co/pricing)). > > The burst rate limit cannot be changed for now.
