What counts as an email

Each email you send through the API or SMTP counts as one, whether it goes to one recipient or several in to, cc and bcc. A batch of 50 counts as 50. Sends to the test addresses count too. Broadcasts are billed through the marketing plan instead.

Check where you are with GET /usage or in Billing:

{
  "object": "usage",
  "plan": "free",
  "emails_this_month": 1840,
  "monthly_allowance": 4000,
  "emails_today": 37,
  "daily_limit": 133,
  "credits_emails": 0,
  "overage_after_allowance": false
}

When you reach a limit

Free plan. At 133 emails in a day or 4,000 in a month, sends fail with 429 daily_quota_exceeded or 429 monthly_quota_exceeded. If you've bought pay-as-you-go credits, Delivrie uses them instead and keeps sending. One credit is one email, and credits never expire. Daily limits reset at midnight UTC; monthly limits on the 1st (UTC).

Paid plans. Sending never stops at the allowance. Emails over it are billed per 1,000 at the end of the month. To put a ceiling on that, set a spending cap in Billing; a send that would go past it fails with 429 spending_cap_reached.

Domains and webhooks. Adding more than your plan allows fails with 403 plan_limit_reached.

Tip Treat 429 quota errors as "stop and alert someone", not "retry in a loop". Retrying won't succeed until the limit resets or the plan changes.
