# 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.

### Subscription Tiers

### 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 <https://app.coinmarketman.com/hypertracker/api>
3. Upgrade instantly - changes take effect immediately
4. No downtime - API keys continue working during transition

#### 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.
