QUOTA_EXCEEDED

Where it comes from: Any public endpoint called with a live lh_live_… key, once the account's live requests this calendar month (UTC) reach its plan's monthlyRequests. Test keys and requests without a key never count.

Causes#

• The account made more live API requests this month than its plan includes (see GET /v1/account/plan or the dashboard's Billing page).
• A loop or retry storm in your integration is calling the API far more often than intended.

How to fix#

• Check x-quota-limit / x-quota-remaining on responses and GET /v1/account/plan for usage and the reset time.
• Upgrade the plan in the dashboard (Billing); the higher quota applies within a minute of the invoice being paid.
• Cache quotes you show repeatedly and debounce quote requests while a user types an amount.
