Highlightly Rate Limits

Highlightly enforces two limits per subscription tier - a daily request quota and a per-second request rate. The free Basic tier allows 100 requests per day with no stated per-second rate limit. Paid tiers raise both the daily quota and the per-second rate (Pro 7,500/day at 12 rps, Ultra 25,000/day at 20 rps, Mega 65,000/day at 100 rps). There are no overage charges; when a daily quota is exhausted, further requests are simply rejected until the quota resets. Every JSON response includes plan metadata describing the tier and request usage.
