Understand the fee logic and usage limits for the Gas Manager Coverage API.
Fee Logic
To provide its services, Alchemy's Gas Manager Coverage API charges fees and sets monthly base limits on sponsorships and policy creations.
The following table provides a detailed breakdown of the fee logic and monthly base limits for each tier type:
| Tier | Team Base Sponsorship Limit | Team Policy Creation Limit | Fee | Testnet Limits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | No Mainnet | 10 Policies | N/A | unlimited free sponsorship |
| Growth | $100 / Month | 10 Policies | 8% of Gas Fees Covered | unlimited free sponsorship |
| Scale | $500/ Month | 50 Policies | 7% of Gas Fees Covered | unlimited free sponsorship |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom | unlimited free sponsorship |
Sponsorship Limit Increases
For sponsorship limit increases, please buy gas 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.
Please note that gas manager credits are not refundable and cannot be resold, transferred, assigned, or combined with other credits.
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.
Note:
Users are required to add their billing information in the Alchemy Dashboard to use Gas Manager Coverage API on Mainnets. An in-depth invoice will be sent to the users at the end of each month, with detailed usage.
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 current sponsorship limit.
