What is the daily quota of the ultra plan? #61

Closed mavolin closed 3 years ago

mavolin commented 3 years ago

The readme of this repo states, that the Ultra plan allows up to 450 requests per 15-minute window, which would mean a daily quota of 450 * 4 * 24 = 43200. However, the pricing section on the Rapid-API website states that daily requests are capped at 17280, but with no 15 min rate limit between requests. Which of these quotas is correct, and is there in fact a 450 requests per 15 min rate limit?

The 15-minute window limit is imposed by Twitter. The 17280 daily quote is imposed by us. So both of them are correct and in effect.

However, the 17280 daily quote is a soft limit, you can go beyond it and query more by paying overage.
