TILLARate limits, tiers & speed
The table below is read from GET /v1/tiers on the live API every time this page loads, so it is always what the API enforces.
What every tier holds, cadence by cadence — the number of series a key of that tier is granted on each lane, measured from the tier manifest the API enforces (2026-10-14). Plans are nested: a higher tier holds everything below it.

What is counted, per key:
| Limit | Over it |
|---|---|
| Requests per minute | 429 with Retry-After |
| Requests per day | 429 |
| Rows per day | 429 |
| Distinct tables touched per day | 429 |
| 200 series in one request | 413 — split the list |
| 50,000 rows in one request | 413 — page with next_start, or use export |
Every keyed answer carries X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset (the minute, reset in seconds), plus X-RateLimit-Limit-Day and X-RateLimit-Remaining-Day. GET /v1/usage shows the whole budget at once.
History. Each tier sets how far back a key may read, and a paid key reads its tier's whole window from the day it is made. A start older than your floor is clipped, not refused: the answer says X-Tilla-Clipped: 1, and X-Tilla-Floor names your first readable bar. The newest bar is never held back on any tier. The deep hourly history (/deep/hour) has no floor on any tier.
Speed — measured through the public URL
Small reads answer in about 0.07 s (median) over the public internet. Under 15 minutes of all three paid keys calling at once, 99% of answers came back within 0.20–0.28 s (measured 2026-10-13). Bulk files download at the speed of the link — 12 MB/s measured for the whole Max set.
