Fair Usage Policy
Drive API is dedicated to delivering a high-quality, reliable, and fast service. To maintain this level of quality, we enforce a Fair Use Policy (FUP) which outlines the appropriate use of our API.
Entity Monitoring
This policy helps ensure all customers enjoy a consistently high-quality experience by monitoring and managing the use of Drive API within established guidelines.
Why a Fair Use Policy?
Drive API operates on a multi-tenant model, serving multiple users simultaneously. Excessive demands by one user can compromise service quality for others. Although only a minority might misuse the service, it's essential to manage such use to maintain service quality for everyone.
Policy Details
We continuously monitor the usage of Drive API to identify and manage unusually high demand. Specific thresholds defined in this policy guide our monitoring:
- Maximum API requests per 24-hour period: 1 million
- Maximum concurrent API requests: 50 requests/second
These limits are set to accommodate typical usage scenarios without compromising service quality. Customers who consistently exceed these thresholds may face service restrictions or additional charges.
Notification and Management
Customers approaching or exceeding these limits will be notified, allowing them to address the issue proactively.
Extenuating Circumstances
We recognize that spikes in demand can occur. Customers expecting higher than usual traffic should contact us in advance to ensure uninterrupted service.
Amendments to the Policy
Plugsurfing reserves the right to modify the Fair Use Policy terms. Updates will be communicated to customers in a timely manner.
