Rate limits much lower than advertised on Basic Plan #125

Closed i2020github closed 4 years ago

i2020github commented 4 years ago

I paid for the Basic Plan but I can only make 10 queries via the API and then it has to wait 50 seconds for the next batch of API calls. This was advertised as having a limit of 150 API calls/minute. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Thank you for any guidance.

Which endpoint did you call ? Have you checked the Weight ?

For example (I have removed my API key):

Hi, plz check the Weight here: https://finnhub.io/docs/api#weight and on your endpoint's documentation.
