# Usage and limits

Know what counts toward your plan before you scale.

## What is metered

Each successful request to these routes counts one unit against your account's credits, whichever key sends it. Failed requests count nothing.

- `search_standard`: One standard search: one page of POST /v1/search.
- `search_deep`: Deep search is off on every plan right now, so `"depth": "deep"` is refused (400 request.out_of_plan).
- `feed_page`: One page of a feed: GET /v1/content or a company's events.
- `screener_search`: One screen: one page of POST /v1/screener, 10 credits on every plan.
- `search_research`: One research answer, on plans that include research.

Everything else is free: record reads and Search fields.

## Limits

Your plan sets each limit, and each has its own error code.

| Limit | What it counts | Refused with |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Rate limit | Requests per minute, on every route. | `429 rate_limit.exceeded`, with `Retry-After` |
| Quota | The usage your plan includes each billing period, which starts on your signup date. | `429 quota.exceeded` |
| Spend cap | The most the account may spend in a billing period, when one is set. | `429 spend_cap.exceeded`, with `details.resets_at` |
| Page cap and history | The largest page and the earliest date your plan reads. | `400 request.out_of_plan` |
