14. Throughput Limits: 'Throughput' refers to the volume of credits that can be consumed per second under each subscription plan. Each plan specifies 'Soft' and 'Hard' throughput limits. The Soft Limit represents the inclusive number of requests per second that can be made under the standard credit consumption rates of the subscribed plan. Should the Soft Limit be exceeded, the Customer may continue to make requests, subject to a higher credit consumption rate, as detailed in the subscription plan. The Hard Limit represents the maximum number of requests per second permissible under any circumstances. Customers seeking to exceed the Hard Limit must contact Crypto APIs to discuss and potentially arrange for an upgraded or custom plan that accommodates higher throughput needs.
