# Rate Limits & Plans

Sanurl.ai API usage is controlled through plan-based rate limits.\
Each plan defines how many requests you can make and how frequently they can be sent.

These limits ensure stable performance and fair usage across all users.

## Available Plans

| Plan   | Monthly Credits | Max API Keys | Max Requests Per Second (RPS) |
| :----- | :-------------- | :----------- | :---------------------------- |
| Silver | 2,000           | 2            | 2 RPS                         |
| Growth | 200,000         | 5            | 4 RPS                         |
| Gold   | 1,000,000       | 20           | 20 RPS                        |

## What These Limits Mean

### Monthly Credits

* Total number of scans you can perform per month
* Each API request consumes one credit

### API Keys

* Number of active API keys allowed per account
* Useful for managing multiple applications or environments

### Requests Per Second (RPS)

* Maximum number of requests allowed per second
* Helps prevent overloading the system

## When Limits Are Exceeded

If your usage exceeds allowed limits:

### Rate Limit Exceeded (RPS)

* Requests beyond the limit may be rejected or throttled
* You may receive an error response

### Credit Limit Reached

* No further requests will be processed until credits reset or plan is upgraded

## Example Error Response

```text theme={null}
{
  "success": false,
  "message": "Rate limit exceeded"
}
```

## Best Practices

* Avoid sending large bursts of requests at once
* Implement retry logic with delays
* Monitor your usage regularly
* Upgrade plan if higher throughput is required

## Summary

Rate limits ensure consistent and reliable API performance.\
Choosing the right plan allows your application to scale based on its usage needs.
