# Usage & Quota

Oten Trust provides a clear and predictable usage model so you can confidently scale your integration.

Your plan includes a monthly request allowance that you can use across all your applications, environments, and API keys — with full visibility and control.

{% hint style="info" %}
Think of usage as your **monthly capacity** to run URL scans, not just a limit.
{% endhint %}

***

### Your monthly usage capacity

Each account is allocated a **monthly request quota**.

Every time your application sends a valid API request, it consumes **1 unit** from your available usage.

#### Key characteristics

* Usage is shared across your entire account
* All API keys contribute to the same usage pool
* You can use your quota across:
  * production systems
  * staging environments
  * internal tools

**Example**

If your team sends:

* 5,000 requests from production
* 2,000 requests from staging

➡️ Total usage consumed: **7,000 requests**

***

### Monthly reset (automatic refresh)

Your usage is refreshed automatically every month.

{% hint style="info" %}
Your available usage resets to full capacity at **00:00:00 UTC on the 1st day of each calendar month**.
{% endhint %}

#### What this means

* You get a **fresh allocation** every month
* No manual action is required
* Your system can rely on a consistent monthly cycle

***

### Real-time usage visibility

The Oten Trust dashboard provides real-time insight into how much of your quota has been used.

#### Normal usage (< 80%)

* Progress bar: **Blue / Green**
* Indicates healthy usage within your plan

```
current_usage / monthly_limit REQUESTS
```

***

#### High usage (80% – 99%)

* Progress bar: **Orange**
* Signals that your usage is approaching full capacity

{% hint style="warning" %}
This is a proactive signal so you can plan ahead — not a restriction.
{% endhint %}

**Available action**

* Upgrade your plan to increase capacity instantly

***

#### Full capacity reached (100%)

* Progress bar: **Red**
* Your current allocation has been fully utilized

At this point:

* New requests will be paused temporarily
* You can immediately restore access by upgrading your plan

Reaching 100% does not block your account — it simply means your current monthly allocation has been fully used.

***

When your needs grow, you can:

***

### Summary
