How are compute units calculated? (How does it affect my limits?)

Written by Iulian Novenschi

Compute Units (CUs) measure the usage cost of Moralis API requests and other product activity. Your plan includes a monthly CU allowance; some operations have a fixed CU cost, while others vary with the scope of the request.

API throughput is a separate limit measured in requests per second (RPS) over a rolling four-second window. Exceeding throughput returns HTTP 429.

See plan allowances, Data API CU costs, and rate limits for current details.
