Configure Project Limits

This tutorial will guide you through the process of setting and managing project limits to control API usage effectively within your blockchain projects.

Introduction​

The "Project Limits" feature provides a robust mechanism for individually managing API call thresholds across each of your projects. Whether you manage one project or multiple, this functionality is crucial for preventing unexpected high traffic and ensuring that each project remains within its budget constraints. By setting specific limits on API calls per month and per second for each project, you can prevent service disruptions and maintain optimal performance across your entire portfolio.

Prerequisites​

    • API Calls / Month: This setting controls the total number of API calls your project can make in a month. It's useful for keeping your usage within a specific budget.
    • API Calls / Second: This setting limits the number of API calls your project can make per second, helping prevent abuse and ensuring equitable resource usage among all users.
