Aside from credits, what other usage allowances should I be aware of?

In addition to the number of credits you have for your account, there are a number of other account and usage allowances you should consider. These allowances differ depending on your plan.

The usage allowances include things like:

• Hourly requests allowed for the rate-limited Admin API
• Max number of users and product environments
• Max storage and transformation file size/resolution for images, videos, and raw files.

The maximum allowances available for your account are listed in the Usage limits section on the right side of the Account page in your Console Settings.

If you've registered for any add-ons, each add-on has its own quota, and you should make sure you keep an eye on your usage of those as well, to be sure your production features that use these add-ons will work smoothly throughout the month. You can check your add-on subscriptions and usage in the Add-ons page of the Cloudinary Console.

Note that, in contrast to credits, which are evaluated on a rolling 30-day basis, your add-on quota resets each month on your billing date.

You can also programmatically retrieve the max limits and the current usage of the allowances described above, including add-on quotas, with the usage method of the Admin API.
