Billing for scale-out packages
Guardrails enforces Queries Per Second (QPS) limits on API calls. You can purchase scale-out packages to increase your QPS quota.
Guardrails QPS limits
-
The default QPS limit for a single user is 50. For requests that involve the file modality, the default limit is 10 QPS. API calls that exceed the limit are throttled, which may affect your business. To raise your QPS limit, purchase a Guardrails scale-out package.
Purchase a Guardrails scale-out package

Pricing example: A 7-day package for 100 QPS has a list price of USD 333.30.

-
If you purchase a large QPS increase, such as more than 200 QPS, the scale-out process may take longer.

View resource plan usage: Log on to the console, open the resource plan usage details page, and check the remaining balance after deductions to track your resource plan consumption.
-
Billing method recommendations: We recommend that you purchase a resource plan instead of using pay-as-you-go billing. A resource plan has a lower unit price than pay-as-you-go billing, and the larger the plan, the greater the discount. Resource plans are suitable for business scenarios with stable call volumes.
