Rate Limits & Quotas

Dacard.ai uses a credit-based system to manage usage across plans. Each scoring operation consumes credits, and limits reset monthly.

​
Credit system

Every product score consumes 1 credit. Credits are allocated per plan and reset at the start of each billing cycle.

Check your current usage and remaining credits via GET /api/usage. The response includes creditsUsed, creditLimit, and resetDate.

​
Anonymous scoring

The POST /api/try-score endpoint allows unauthenticated scoring with stricter limits:
  • Rate limit: IP-based throttling
  • No history: Results are not saved to any account
  • No suite: Anonymous scores cannot be added to product suites
Authenticated users should use POST /api/score for full functionality.

​
Rate limit responses

When you exceed your credit limit, the API returns a 429 Too Many Requests response: 
{
  "error": "Monthly credit limit reached",
  "code": "CREDIT_LIMIT",
  "creditsUsed": 50,
  "creditLimit": 50,
  "resetDate": "2026-04-01T00:00:00Z"
}
Anonymous scoring rate limits return: 
{
  "error": "Rate limit exceeded. Sign up for higher limits.",
  "code": "ANON_RATE_LIMIT"
}

​
Monitoring usage

Use the Get Usage & Quota endpoint to check your current consumption:
