Usage and billing
The short version#
Every organization starts at Tier 1: one concurrent generation, 50 per day, $100 monthly spend cap. Tiers rise automatically the moment you cross a purchase threshold — $100 purchased puts you on Tier 3 (5 concurrent, 1,000/day) with no waiting period.
There is no requests-per-minute limit. Work beyond your concurrency is queued as THROTTLED, not rejected, so you do not need your own rate limiter. A persistent 429 means you have hit the daily cap instead.
Autobilling checks your balance hourly and recharges when it falls below a threshold you set, with a $10 minimum. Three consecutive payment failures stop it permanently until you fix the payment method and trigger a recharge manually.
