# Credits & Limits

Canonical URL: https://doc.roote.ai/roote-api/credits-and-limits



ROOTE applies endpoint-specific request limits and credit rules at the backend.

## Credit calculation [#credit-calculation]

Credit calculation is performed by the ROOTE backend. Clients should not recreate accounting from response size or provider count.

<Callout title="Pricing is not inferred" type="info">
  Where a credit cost, quota window, or price is not explicitly specified, it remains unspecified.

Nearby responses expose requested and applied limits where documented. Rate-limit failures use `rate_limited` where applicable. Consult each capability page; REST and MCP limits are not assumed to be identical.
