What are limits?

Two types of rules you can set per agent:
  • Email Alert — Sends you an email when a threshold is hit.
  • Hard Limit — Returns HTTP 429 and stops requests once the threshold is hit.
You can also combine both on a single rule.

​
Creating a rule

1

Open the Limits page

Navigate to your agent’s Limits page in the dashboard.
2

Create a rule

Click + Create rule.
3

Configure the rule

Pick a rule type (Email Alert, Hard Limit, or both), a metric (tokens or cost), a threshold, and a period (hour / day / week / month).
4

Save

Click Create rule. The rule takes effect immediately.

​
How blocking works

When a Hard Limit triggers, the next proxy request returns 429 Too Many Requests with a message: 
Limit exceeded: cost usage ($X) exceeds $Y per day
The block resets at the start of the next period.

​
Email notifications

Alerts are sent to your account email. Make sure it is correct in your profile settings.

​
Checking rules

  • Rules are evaluated hourly (cron) for notifications, and on every request for blocks.
  • A notification is sent once per rule per period to avoid spam.
