Understand the fee logic and usage limits for the Gas Manager Coverage API.
Usage Limits
Alchemy fronts the gas for you up to a base limit based on your tier, and it adds it to your monthly bill.
If you need more gas you can easily boost your limits by buying gas manager credits in USD via our Gas Manager Dashboard. This is a one time purchase that will be applied to your bill at the end of the month and will roll over until it is used up.
| Tier | Mainnet Base Limit | Testnet Limit | Team Policy Creation Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | N/A | unlimited free sponsorship | 10 Policies |
| Growth | $100 / Month | unlimited free sponsorship | 10 Policies |
| Scale | $500/ Month | unlimited free sponsorship | 50 Policies |
| Enterprise | Custom | unlimited free sponsorship | Custom |
Alerts
To safeguard against hitting sponsorship limits, we've implemented alerts that notify the team's billing admins via email when gas manager usage reaches 50%, 75%, 90%, and 100% of the sponsorship limit.
Eventual Consistency and Sponsorship Limits
Our Gas Manager is designed to handle a large number of sponsorship requests quickly and efficiently. However, because of the way it processes these requests in batches, there may be brief periods where the actual spending slightly exceeds the limits you've set. This is rare but possible, especially when the system is handling a high volume of requests. Rest assured, we're actively working to minimize these occurrences and if you have concerns, please file a support ticket via our Discord server.
