Rate limits specify how many requests an App is allowed to make during a specified time interval. A Plan can have a shared rate limit for all the operations, or each operation can have a different rate limit. In addition, Plans can have multiple rate limits set per Plan and per operation, at second, minute, hour, day, and week time intervals. Plans can also have burst limits to prevent usage spikes that might damage infrastructure. Multiple burst limits can be set per Plan, at second and minute time intervals.

After you have identified the Plan that you want to use, click Subscribe and then select the App that you want to use with this Plan. If the Plan is not restricted, you can use it immediately. If the Plan is restricted, the subscription is shown as Pending Approval, and you cannot use the requested Plan until the administrator approves your request.

You cannot subscribe to a monetized Plan without first adding your payment information to your Consumer organization. You can register your payment information by editing the Billing tab for your Consumer organization. Note: you must either be the Consumer organization owner, or have Settings: Manage permissions for your organization to be able to edit the billing information. Consumer organizations can have at most one payment method. You can delete your payment method and add a different method, for example if your credit card expires. If you change your subscription to a Plan that has a different pricing structure, the subscription billing system will add a prorated amount to the next invoice of your subscription billing cycle.
