Overview
Monthly parcel limits are enforced based on your subscription plan. Limits reset on the first day of each calendar month (UTC).
Parcel limits by plan
| Plan | Monthly parcels | Price |
|---|
| Standard | 2,000 | $200/month |
| Professional | 5,000 | $450/month |
Each parcel returned across any endpoint counts toward your monthly limit.
