API Usage
The API Usage page provides a comprehensive view of your account API activity. Monitor request volumes, track quota consumption, and identify usage patterns to optimize your integration.
Account-Level Tracking
Autheona tracks API usage at the account level, not the project level. This means:
- All requests across all projects count toward your quota
- You cannot view usage broken down by individual project
- The metrics reflect your entire account API activity
Accessing the API Usage Page
To access the API Usage page:
- Log in to the Autheona Platform
- Click API Usage in the sidebar
Usage Metrics
The API Usage page displays the following metrics:
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Requests today | Total API requests made on the current day (resets daily at midnight UTC) |
| Requests this month | Total API requests made in the current billing period |
| Requests based on quota | Your quota consumption relative to your plan limits |
| Additional calls | Requests made after exceeding your allocated quota |
| API call count chart | Visual representation of request patterns over the last 30 days |
Understanding Quotas by Plan Type
Your quota display and limits depend on your subscription plan:
Free Plan
| Characteristic | Value |
|---|---|
| Quota type | Daily |
| Display format | {requests today} / {daily quota} |
| Reset schedule | Resets each day at midnight UTC |
When you reach the daily limit on a free plan:
Warning
When you reach the daily limit:
- You cannot make additional API requests
- You must wait until the next day when your quota resets
- To increase your quota, upgrade to a paid plan
Paid Plan
| Characteristic | Value |
|---|---|
| Quota type | Monthly |
| Display format | {requests this month} / {monthly quota} |
| Reset schedule | Resets at the start of each billing period |
Additional Calls
Additional calls are API requests made after you exceed your allocated quota. For example:
- Your monthly quota is 10,000 requests
- You make 10,500 requests in a billing period
- The additional 500 requests are counted as "additional calls"
Pricing for Additional Calls
For details on how additional calls are billed and pricing thresholds, see the Pricing page.
API Call Count Chart
The API call count chart displays your request patterns over the last 30 days. This visualization helps you:
- Identify peak usage periods
- Detect unexpected spikes in activity
- Plan capacity for high-traffic events
- Correlate usage with deployment schedules or campaigns
The date range for the chart is fixed at 30 days and is not configurable.
