Hi

First i would like to say thanks for a great service

I can't really seem to find the structure in credits used per request.
When using ex. FindNearbyPostalCodes which costs 3 credits per request, does one request cost 3 credit no matter if it returns 10 or 100 results?

I've reached the hourly limit twice and next the daily limit which i thought wasn't possible. The hourly limit is 2000 credits and i've hit it twice = 4000 credit. Daily limit is 30 000 credit, so doesn't make sence?

The credits are currently the same, this may change in the future. For some services it depends on the number of rows requested.

You can easily reach the 30k limit without ever hitting the hourly limit. The day has 24h.

Best

Marc
