How to check my Developer API usage
Keeping an eye on API usage helps avoid unexpectedly hitting your daily limit mid-task.
Where to check
Open Dashboard → Developer API — your current usage for the day and your limit are shown together, along with your key management options.
If you're close to your limit
Usage resets every 24 hours. For consistently higher needs, a paid plan raises the daily limit — check current tiers on the Pricing page.
Multiple keys
If you've generated more than one key for different projects, usage is typically tracked per account rather than per individual key, so all requests count toward the same daily total regardless of which key made them.
Planning around usage patterns
If your usage is naturally uneven — a burst of activity at certain times, then quiet periods — checking the dashboard before starting a large batch job helps you gauge whether you have enough remaining daily allowance to complete it in one session.
For applications with predictable heavy use
If you are building something that will consistently need more than the free daily limit, reviewing current paid tiers on the Pricing page before development begins avoids redesigning around limits later.
Monitoring usage over time
For applications with steadily growing usage, checking the dashboard periodically — not just when something fails — helps anticipate approaching a limit before it actually causes a disruption to whatever you have built on top of the API.

For a project still in early development, checking usage patterns during testing gives a realistic early estimate of whether the free tier will be sufficient once the project is actually in regular use, well before that becomes a live problem. A quick check avoids an unexpected interruption.
