Both trial and paid API keys have a default limit of how many requests per month a key can perform. These limits (quotas) are set to avoid abuse of the service and unexpected cost overruns. If you exceed the allocated quota in a given calendar month, requests will be rejected with a 429
HTTP status code until the beginning of the next month.
Of course, we're more than happy to increase a quota: the quota is meant as a safety stop, not a limitation. Contact our support team and indicate what limit you would like to see applied to the key (if any).
