Subscribed in the free tier, what happens if I surpass these limits? I mean, does the model stop working until the limits resets or it keeps working and then I’m billed at the end of the month?
If I keep my usage within the limits of the free tier, how long does the free tier last? will I be forced to upgrade at some point and then I’ll have to pay for what I used in the “free” tier?
Hi there! Since you’re on the free tier, you won’t be charged at all for your usage while in the free tier. The costs you see are just to show you how much you would have spent if you were on developer tier - these will reset and you won’t have to ever pay for usage in the free tier.
If you exceed free tier limits, you’ll receive a 429 error when attempting to make requests to the model. You’ll continue to receive 429 errors until your rate limits reset. We have more information on how to handle these types of errors here: https://console.groq.com/docs/rate-limits#handling-rate-limits
