    API Rate Limits by Plan

    API Rate Limits by Plan

    How many requests per minute each plan allows, and what counts toward your limit

    2 min read
    Updated May 18, 2026

    Every AliasFleet plan includes a per-minute API limit — the number of requests your account can make in any 60-second window. For most users this is invisible. It matters most if you're building an integration, using the browser extension heavily, or have multiple tabs open simultaneously.

    Limits by plan

    PlanRequests per minute
    Free50
    Pro100
    Business200

    Limits apply per account, not per device. If you have three tabs open, their requests all count toward the same limit.

    What counts as a request

    Almost any interaction that fetches or changes data counts:

    • Loading your alias list or a single alias
    • Creating, updating, or deleting an alias
    • Fetching activity logs
    • Loading destinations or creating a new one
    • Viewing active sessions
    • Checking billing or usage data

    Static page loads (navigating between pages) are fast and don't hammer the limit. Normal browsing won't come close to 50 requests per minute.

    What doesn't count

    Email forwarding itself is server-side infrastructure and is completely unaffected by rate limits. Your aliases will keep forwarding regardless of API limit status.

    Separate security limits

    Some sensitive operations have their own independent limits that apply across all plans, regardless of your API allowance:

    OperationLimit
    Login attempts5 per 15 minutes (per IP)
    Password reset requests3 per hour
    Sign-up5 per hour (per IP)
    Verification email resendsLimited per destination

    These can't be increased by upgrading — they're security floors.

    When you hit the limit

    You'll see a "Too many requests" error with a wait time. The block clears automatically — usually within 60 seconds. See Too Many Requests Error for more detail.

    Upgrading for higher limits

    If you're building an integration or regularly hitting limits, upgrading your plan doubles or quadruples your allowance. Changes take effect immediately after upgrading.

    See Upgrading to Pro · Plan & Usage Limits

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What counts as an API request?

    Any action that loads or changes data — opening your alias list, creating an alias, fetching activity logs, checking sessions. Background page loads count too.

    Does my rate limit reset daily or per minute?

    Per minute. The 60-second window rolls continuously, so the limit refreshes frequently. You're not locked out for the day if you hit it.

    Can I increase my rate limit without upgrading?

    No. Rate limits are tied to your plan and can't be increased separately. Upgrading to Pro or Business is the only way to get a higher allowance.

    Do rate limits affect email forwarding?

    No. Email forwarding happens server-side and is not subject to API rate limits. Only requests made from your browser or integrations count.
