# Rate Limits

To avoid API usage abuse, we have rate limited each customer with a generous 16 requests per second.

Please contact <hello@scoredetect.com> for bespoke rate limiting. We offer bespoke rate limiting for enterprise customers.

If you require **more certificates** every month, we recommend upgrading to a higher plan first.

However, if you have non-monthly rate limit increases, please contact us at <hello@scoredetect.com> and we can help create a bespoke plan for your account.
