Rate Limits & Spending Protection
Fair-use guards, session limits, and spending caps.
OmniScout Cloud does not use subscription tiers. You pay for what you use (see Usage & Billing). The limits below keep the service fair for everyone.
Usage guards
These guards protect the service from abuse. They are not billing quotas.
| What is limited | Default |
|---|---|
| Sessions running at the same time | 3 |
| Idle time before a session closes | 30 minutes |
| Longest a session can stay open | 2 hours |
| Searches per day | 1,000 |
| Answers per day | 100 |
| Session commands per day | 5,000 |
Most users never hit these. If you need more room, contact support.
Spending limits
Set a monthly spending cap in the dashboard. When the cap is reached, billable use stops with this error:
{
"request_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
"error": {
"type": "payment_required",
"code": "spending_limit_exceeded",
"message": "Spending limit exceeded",
"retryable": false
}
}Raise the cap to continue.
Payment issues
If a payment fails, new billable use may be paused with a 402 payment_required error until billing is up to date.
