Plans and limits

Two plans. Watch tells you; Guard does something about it. Every cap in one place, so nothing surprises you at two in the morning.

The line that matters: on Watch, nothing stops a bad call. You see it, you are told, and it costs what it costs. Guard is where the meter stops running.

The daily allowance

Calls scored per day resets at midnight UTC. Past it, a call is still recorded and allowed. It appears in your log with reasons: ["daily_cap"] and no score, and raises no alert. It is an allowance, not a rate limit: nothing is refused and nothing errors. On Guard the allowance is a hundred thousand a day, which is a flood in itself.

If a payment fails

  1. You get an email the moment it fails, with a link to update the card.
  2. Twenty-four hours later, if the account is still past due, it moves to Watch. Nothing is deleted; the numbers, history and settings stay.
  3. You get a second email saying it moved, and why.

Updating the card and paying the open invoice puts Guard back. Between the failure and the move, Guard keeps working: a card that expired on the wrong night should not be what lets an attack through.

None of these is a promise to keep them where they are. Ingest ceilings in particular are set far above any real call volume and would only ever go up. A limit that goes down will do so with notice.
