# Rate Limits & Pricing
Rate limits ensure fair usage and optimal performance for all users. Limits scale with your subscription tier - from testing to enterprise production deployments. WebSocket limits per plan are listed in [Plan limits and availability](/order-book-data/getting-started.md).
### Subscription Tiers
| Free Tier | Pulse | Surge | Flow | Stream |
| ---------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| FREE | $179/month | $399/Month | $799/Month | $1,999/Month |
| 100 Tokens per Day | 50,000 Tokens per month | 150,000 Tokens per month | 400,000 Tokens per month | 2,000,000 Tokens per month |
| X | 60 req/min

### Rate Limit Implementation
Example:
```
X-RateLimit-Limit: 100 # Maximum requests per window
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 87 # Remaining requests in current window
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1699564800 # Unix timestamp when quota resets
```
#### Rate Limit Exceeded Response
Example:
```
{
"error": "rate_limit_exceeded",
"message": "You have exceeded your rate limit",
"retry_after": 42
}
```
{% hint style="danger" %}
When rate limited, wait for the indicated period or upgrade your subscription tier for immediate access.
{% endhint %}
### Best Practices
#### Optimize Your Usage
1. **Cache responses** - Store frequently accessed data locally
2. **Batch requests** - Combine multiple data points into single requests where possible
3. **Use webhooks** - Receive push updates instead of polling (Flow/Stream tiers)
4. **Implement exponential backoff** - Handle rate limits gracefully with retry logic
5. **Monitor usage** - Track your request patterns to stay within quota
### Upgrading Your Plan
Need higher rate limits or extended data access?
1. View your current usage in the API Dashboard
2. Compare plans at
3. Upgrade instantly - changes take effect immediately. Open WebSocket connections pick them up within about 2 minutes.
4. No downtime - API keys continue working during transition
#### Enterprise Plans
Contact us in our [telegram group](https://t.me/HyperTrackerio), over [discord](https://discord.gg/FaXVPH6YVN) or use for:
* Custom rate limits beyond Stream tier
* Dedicated API infrastructure
* Multi-region deployment
* White-label solutions
* Direct technical support
#### Fair Use Policy
Please contact support in case your account has been suspended
{% hint style="warning" %}
We reserve the right to throttle or temporarily suspend accounts that engage in abusive API usage patterns, attempt to circumvent rate limits, generate excessive load, or violate Terms of Service.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.coinmarketman.com/endpoints/rate-limits-and-pricing.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
