LLM](https://microlink.io/docs/api/basics/rate-limit.md "Copy content for LLM") \| [View as Markdown](https://microlink.io/docs/api/basics/rate-limit.md "View content as Markdown") The API quota is the number of requests you can perform during a quantity of time. Your API quota depends on the [endpoint](https://microlink.io/docs/api/basics/endpoint) you are using: - **free**: It's the plan applied for unauthenticated requests. It has a soft limitation of 50 reqs. - **pro**: It's the plan applied for authenticated requests. It's based on the plan associated with your [API Key](https://microlink.io/docs/api/basics/authentication), starting from 14,000 reqs. You can perform HTTP calls always you are under your the API quota limit. When you reach the API quota limit, you will experience [HTTP 429 errors](https://httpstatuses.com/429) , meaning you need to wait until the API quota reset (or upgrade your plan). When the API quota is reset, you have a fresh start again. For the free endpoint, your current rate limit status is reflected as part of your response with the following headers: - `x-rate-limit-limit`: The maximum number of requests that the consumer is permitted to make per minute. - `x-rate-limit-remaining`: The number of requests remaining in the current rate limit window. - `x-rate-limit-reset`: The time at which the current rate limit window resets in UTC epoch seconds. We don't apply any throttling limitation: You can perform as much parallel requests as your daily quota allowed you. If you are hitting the daily quota very often and you want to upgrade your plan, just [contact us](mailto:hello@microlink.io?subject=Increment%20API%20quota%20rate%20limit&body=Hello%2C%20I%20want%20to%20upgrade%20my%20plan.%20Can%20you%20suggest%20me%20the%20plan%20that%20fit%20better%20for%20my%20user%20case.Thanks%20for%20everything.) .
