FAQ

Overage? Requests beyond your monthly quota return HTTP 429 until the calendar month resets. No surprise bills.

Annual billing? Email support@beaded.cloud for a 20% discount on Builder and Pro annual.

What's the no-auth preview? A demo endpoint at /api/v1/permafrost/preview — 60 req/sec per IP, ideal for landing-page maps and one-off tests. Returns the same shape as the keyed endpoint.
