Usage & Quotas

Outstand doesn't apply a request-per-minute rate limit on the public API. Instead, publishing is metered against your workspace's posting credits — one credit per platform per post.

How credits are consumed

Each account in the accounts array of a Create a Post request consumes one posting credit, whether the post is published immediately or scheduled. Posting to 3 accounts in a single request consumes 3 credits.

Checking your remaining quota

Your current plan and usage are visible in the dashboard under Settings → Billing. When a request would exceed your remaining quota, the API returns:

{
  "error": "You've used all your posting credits for this billing period. Upgrade your plan to continue."
}

with HTTP status 402. Upgrade your plan or wait for your next billing cycle reset to continue publishing.
