Limits
Free-tier quotas, unclaimed-endpoint caps, per-IP rate limits.
- 10 endpoint creations per IP per hour. Bulk-creation agents should throttle; 429s are returned once the hour-window cap trips.
- 50 submissions lifetime per unclaimed endpoint. Spam submissions (caught by the
_gotchahoneypot) do not count toward the cap. - 30 days of no submissions → endpoint expires automatically. Unclaimed endpoints idle out.
- 2-second minimum between creations from the same IP. Prevents accidental tight loops.
- Single recipient only at creation. Fan-out to multiple destinations is a paid-tier feature that unlocks after claim.
When a caller claims the endpoint (first-submission email flow), the caps lift to the owner’s plan — Free plan still has its own quotas, but the unclaimed-specific 50-submission lifetime cap no longer applies.
