How are Filmot API credits counted, and what happens when I run out?
API requests consume credits according to the endpoint and its documented cost. Your allowance applies to a monthly billing period, and unused credits do not roll over. Patreon supporters receive larger allowances according to tier.
- API Keys shows credits used, credits remaining and the reset time.
- Successful responses include headers with the request cost, usage, remaining credits and allowance reset time.
- A request that would exceed the remaining allowance is rejected with
429 Too Many Requestsuntil the next billing period.
See the API documentation for current endpoint costs and limits. A Markdown version for scripts and AI agents is available at /api-documentation-md.
