API Call Limits and Top-Ups
Understand what counts as an API call, what happens when you reach the limit, and how to add credits
Your plan includes a monthly API call allowance. Understanding what counts as a call helps you manage consumption and avoid unexpected interruptions.
What counts as an API call
- AI model requests — every message your chatbot generates a response to
- Document embedding — when documents are processed and indexed after upload
- Knowledge base retrieval — each time the AI searches your knowledge base during a conversation
Monthly limits by plan
- FREE: 50 calls/month
- STARTER: 5,000 calls/month
- TEAM: 10,000 calls/month
- BUSINESS: 40,000 calls/month
- ENTERPRISE: Unlimited
Limits reset on your subscription renewal date each month.
What happens when you reach the limit
Your account stays active. You receive an in-app notification that you've reached your monthly API quota. Add top-up credits to continue AI responses without waiting for the next billing cycle, or wait until your allowance resets. Monitor usage as you approach 80% of your limit.
How to add top-up credits
If you need more calls mid-month without upgrading your plan:
- Go to Dashboard → Billing → Add Credits
- Purchase the credit amount you need
- Credits are applied to your account instantly
Credits are consumed first before your plan's monthly allowance. Unused credits carry over to the next month — they do not expire at billing renewal.
When to upgrade vs. top up
Top-ups are good for occasional spikes. If you regularly need credits every month, upgrading your plan is more cost-effective. Use the Usage page to track your typical monthly volume and plan accordingly.
