Also known as: API quota, daily limit
The daily ceiling an indexer places on searches and NZB downloads for an account, enforced per API key and reset on a fixed schedule. Free tiers commonly allow a few dozen of each; paid tiers raise the numbers substantially. Once the cap is reached the API returns an error rather than results, which client software reports as the indexer being unavailable.
