Limits and Quotas

Limits

Quotas

Usually, if a quota is exceeded when making requests to an API, the API returns a HTTP 429/503 status code and a message that the account has exceeded the quota.

Note

In the event of a sudden surge in demand, such as a doubling of traffic levels in a very short period of time, HERE services may return HTTP 429/503 status codes for a short period of time (usually up to 10 minutes) and throttle requests from one or more users, even if the user's quotas were not reached. This is done to enable the service to meet the Service Level Agreement (SLA) while the service adapts to new request rates.
