Rate Limits & Quota

Understand NexLev's quota system — how quota is deducted per request, per-plan limits, and how to monitor usage to avoid interruptions.

NexLev API usage is metered by quota — a per-request cost deducted from your plan's balance — rather than a flat requests-per-second limit.

How Quota Works

  • Every successful request deducts a fixed amount of quota, shown as 🥞 on each endpoint's reference page (e.g. Channel Analytics).
  • Quota resets according to your plan's billing cycle.
  • Cached results (where noted on an endpoint's reference page) do not count against quota.
  • Failed requests (4xx/5xx) are not charged.

Monitoring Usage

Check your remaining quota anytime at Manage API Key.

Exceeding Quota

Once your quota is exhausted, requests receive a 429 response:

{
  "error": "Quota Exceeded",
  "details": "You have exceeded your API quota. Please try again later."
}

Per-Endpoint Hourly Limits

Some asynchronous, job-based endpoints additionally enforce an hourly request cap independent of quota. These are documented on the relevant endpoint's reference page — for example, Channel Analysis allows 100 job creations and 500 result fetches per hour per API key.
