Per-minute and per-day request limits on the API

Calls made with an API key now respect two new limit windows, scaled by the account’s plan, in addition to the existing per-route limits (lifecycle actions, SQL console, subdomain changes, etc.):
  • Per minute, from 30/min on Free to 480/min from Enterprise-12 up. Exceeding it returns 429 RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED.
  • Per day, from 1,000/day on Free to 864,000/day on Enterprise-32, resetting at midnight, Brazil time. Exceeding it returns 429 DAILY_QUOTA_EXCEEDED.
Dashboard usage doesn’t count toward either window.Also changed:
  • Manual snapshot creation got its own limit — 1 every 5 minutes on the same project and 10 per hour on the account — so it doesn’t compete with the automatic snapshot the platform already takes before deleting or resetting a database. Exceeding it returns 429 SNAPSHOT_RATE_LIMITED.
  • Unit fix: the API request quota was always daily, not monthly as the documentation stated. No number changed size, only the unit was wrong.
  • Intermediary plan fix: the published daily quota was 56,000; the correct value is 115,200.
  • Database reset fix: the limit is 1 per hour, not 1 every 3 hours.
