# Limits

> Rate limits, parallel requests and recommended timeouts

## Rate limits

You can request data depending on your data plan and account balance (default: `10000/month`). Pricing depends on the operation and the number of results returned, and may increase with additional data flags. For exact pricing, see each endpoint's **Pricing** section or your [billing settings](https://beta.generect.com/settings/billing).

## Parallel requests limit

* [Company search](/api-reference/endpoint/search/realtime-companies) — `POST /search/*/companies/`: 20 requests

* [Company enrichment](/api-reference/endpoint/enrich/enrich-realtime-company) — `POST /enrich/*/company/`: 50 requests

* [Lead search](/api-reference/endpoint/search/realtime-leads) — `POST /search/*/leads/`: 50 requests

* [Lead enrichment](/api-reference/endpoint/enrich/enrich-realtime-lead) — `POST /enrich/*/lead/`: 500 requests

## Recommended timeouts

* [Company search](/api-reference/endpoint/search/realtime-companies): 300 seconds

* [Company enrichment](/api-reference/endpoint/enrich/enrich-realtime-company): 60 seconds

* [Lead search](/api-reference/endpoint/search/realtime-leads): 300 seconds

* [Lead enrichment](/api-reference/endpoint/enrich/enrich-realtime-lead): 100 seconds

## Which endpoints are rate-limited

The parallel-request limits above apply to **search** and **enrich** endpoints. **Email Finder, Email Validation, Phone Finder, Preview, bulk jobs, count endpoints, and account/webhook endpoints have no parallel-request cap** — they are bounded only by your balance and, for bulk jobs, the [50-item limit per request](/use-cases/api/bulk-processing).

Limits are enforced per **API token + source IP**, per operation type. Exceeding one returns HTTP `429` — see [Errors](/api-reference/errors) — so retry with **exponential backoff**.

## Capacity limits on live data

Real-time single-lead enrichment and real-time search can also return `429` during exceptionally high live-source load — a temporary capacity guard, separate from the parallel limits above. Handle it the same way: back off and retry.

<Info>Limits apply per operation type and cover both database and realtime modes. They can be increased upon request.</Info>
