New QPS overages model and increased QPS ceiling

We've updated our QPS rate limiting policy. From now on, we will allow a significantly higher QPS ceiling (up to 4x your plan's included QPS).

The previous short-term 2x QPS burst mode is being replaced by a more flexible model. What used to be the plan's limit is now the QPS allowance included in the price of the plan, and any requests exceeding it will incur overage charges at a $0.0005 per request.

This change is based on the feedback we've received over the past two months, where many of you expressed frustration about the lack of support for unexpected traffic spikes. With this new model you won't need to upgrade your plan just to handle a temporary peak.

These changes will take effect from your next billing cycle. We will provide you with tools to monitor your costs, including the dashboard and new email notifications, so you stay in control.

You can find more details in our documentation: QPS Overages and QPS Ceiling
