In ReadyCMS, ensuring you get the most out of your subscription is a top priority. However, certain limits have been put in place to maintain optimal system performance and ensure fairness for all users. It's essential to monitor these limitations to ensure your operations run smoothly.
Monitoring your usage
On the subscription plans page, you can conveniently monitor your usage. This is broken down into various components, enabling you to understand where you might be hitting your limits. Here's what you can see:
API Calls:
- The chart showcases the number of API calls made every day over a month.
- This visualization helps you understand your peak usage days and can assist in forecasting future needs.
- With a clear limit on the number of API calls per month, you'll always know how close you are to reaching that ceiling.

API Performance:
- It's also crucial to track the performance of your API, in addition to the number of calls.
- This will give you insights into any potential issues or slowdowns.

Cached vs. non-cached API calls
In the Subscription Center, you can also see a detailed breakdown of your API usage:
- Track cached and uncached API calls separately for more accurate insights
- The interactive graph lets you toggle which stats you want to see (total, cached, missed)
- Get a clear view of how your API quota is being used
Breakdown of limitations
Here's a comprehensive list of the other key limitations you should be aware of:
