API access rules

Our API service is totally free of cost. But to make sure every user gets a fair share of usage and to keep our systems working in optimum way possible, we have implemented rate limiting on our API system.
Rate limiting allows a specific number of requests in a particular time window. Upon crossing the threshold, the API hits get blocked automatically.

Why does this feature exist?
Any cloud service has a limited bandwidth which is shared by its users. When any user overuses the system beyond the specified limit it affects the usage for other users of Bolt cloud. The effects could be a slower response rate for others or at times could even crash the Bolt Cloud. To prevent this situation and to ensure that you get a continues uptime of the Bolt cloud, this feature exists.

What to do if you end application still requires higher bandwidth?
We understand that there could be a situation where a user like you would have a genuine case for higher bandwidth or speed. To consider this, we have now launched a pro version of the Bolt Cloud. You can upgrade to the pro version at a small monthly fee of $20. This fee helps us pay the additional amount towards the cost of the AWS servers which is required to offer the additional bandwidth.
