Rate Limits & Quotas
To ensure platform stability and protect against infinite AI loops, Cheqpoint applies several layers of rate limiting.
Agent-level limits
text
maxRequestsHour: 50
maxRequestsDay: 500
maxAmountPence: 50000 (£500)Agent Limits
Each AI agent can have its own safety thresholds. These are hard limits; if exceeded, the SDK will receive an immediate rejection.
- Max Amount - Hard cap on the value of a single transaction. Requests above this are rejected before reaching a reviewer.
- Max Requests (Hour/Day) - Blocks runaway loops where a misbehaving or manipulated agent submits the same action repeatedly.
Plan Quotas
Your monthly request quota depends on your plan. You can monitor your usage in Dashboard → Usage.
| Plan | Monthly Quota |
|---|---|
| Free | 50 requests |
| Starter | 500 requests |
| Team | 2,000 requests |
| Growth | 5,000 requests |
| Business | 25,000 requests |
| Enterprise | Custom |
Loop Protection
If Cheqpoint detects identical requests from the same AI agent within a very short window, it may trigger an automatic loop-protection rejection to prevent resource exhaustion.
