Usage & limits
Paid plans use three fixed request windows: 5 hours, 24 hours, and 7 days. Every generation request must have capacity in all three windows before it is forwarded to a model.
Request windows
The windows are anchored to the start of your current access period rather than a calendar day or week. New 5-hour windows begin every five hours, new 24-hour windows every day, and new 7-day windows every seven days. At each reported reset time, that window's full allowance becomes available again.
LLMRPM counts successful generation requests made through /chat/completions and /messages. Calls to /models and /usage do not consume plan requests.
Plan allowances
| Plan | 5 hours | 24 hours | 7 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 300 | 1,000 | 4,000 |
| Growth | 425 | 2,000 | 8,000 |
See pricing for current plan availability and purchase terms.
