# Lindy Rate Limits & Credits ## Overview Lindy uses a **credit-based** consumption model, not traditional API rate limits. Every task (everything an agent does after being triggered) costs credits. Cost scales with model intelligence, task complexity, premium actions, and duration. ## Credit Consumption Reference | Factor | Credit Impact | |--------|-------------| | Basic model task | 1-3 credits | | Large model task (GPT-4, Claude) | ~10 credits | | Premium actions (webhooks, phone) | Additional credits | | Phone calls (US/Canada landline) | ~20 credits/minute | | Phone calls (international mobile) | 21-53 credits/minute | | Minimum per task | 1 credit | ## Plan Credit Limits | Plan | Credits/Month | Approx Tasks | Price | |------|--------------|-------------|-------| | Free | 400 | ~40-400 | $0 | | Pro | 5,000 | ~500-1,500 | $49.99/mo | | Business | 30,000 | ~3,000-30,000 | $299.99/mo | | Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom | **Important**: Credit limit enforcement is not instant. Lindy can only limit usage *after* the limit has been breached, not precisely when it is reached. A task that starts before the limit may complete and push usage slightly over. ## Instructions ### Step 1: Monitor Credit Usage In the Lindy dashboard: 1. Navigate to **Settings > Billing** 2. Review current credit consumption 3. Track per-agent credit usage 4. Set up alerts for high-consumption agents ### Step 2: Reduce Per-Task Credit Cost **Choose the right model for each step**: | Task...
