Limits & metering

How pages are counted, what is free, and the rate limits.

Metering

  • 1 credit = 1 page of output.
  • Pages are counted after a successful render, from the actual PDF.
  • Failed renders (4xx/5xx) cost nothing.
  • Screenshots cost 1 credit.

Payload limits

  • HTML/Markdown JSON body: 6 MB.
  • Office and PDF uploads: 10 MB each.
  • Render timeout: 30 s default, 60 s maximum.

Quota behaviour

When your balance reaches zero, the API returns 402 before doing any work. A render that succeeds and takes you slightly negative is allowed, then blocks the next request. This avoids losing a document you already waited for.
