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.

Highlightly Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Highlightly on the APIs.io network, in the API Commons Rate Limits shape.
