Rate Limits

EthGasStation applies API usage limits by plan. The current app surfaces those limits in the developer console as daily usage.

How limits are applied​

  • limits are enforced per account/plan context behind your API keys
  • daily quotas depend on your active plan
  • if your plan has no API access, requests are rejected before your integration runs
  • if your plan limit is exhausted, API requests return 429

Where to check your limit​

In the current app, the most reliable limit view is:

  • Developer -> API & MCP Console

That panel shows:

  • plan
  • daily limit
  • used today
  • remaining today

Current public plan direction​

The product currently markets three public tiers:

  • Free
  • Basic
  • Pro

Request capacity scales by tier. Check the app pricing page and your active plan rather than hard-coding assumptions into integration logic.

Handling 429 Too Many Requests​

  • back off and retry later instead of hammering the same endpoint
  • cache short-lived reads such as gas snapshots and trend summaries
  • reduce polling frequency if you are repeatedly re-reading the same data
  • monitor usage in the developer console so you can upgrade before your workflow becomes brittle
