Hi Team,

My coding terminal connected to the Appwrite CLI blew through my Projects Read request limit with in a day! and thats a large limit! I'm not sure how to prevent this as my traffic would not ever come close to blowing that limit as a result, my projects DB & Auth are unreachable from the frontend on any of my deployments.

What should I look for in specific that may be leading to such excessive read request usage and to prevent it from happening again.

Your help is greatly appreciated in advance.

Thank you

TL;DR
Issue: Appwrite Read request limit being hit quickly when using Appwrite CLI. Solution: You can upgrade to a higher plan with pay per use option after maxing out the read limit. You can downgrade later if needed, and your current plan will last until the end of the billing cycle.

make sure there's no large limit being passed for the requests

Thanks I checked this but nothing over a 1000 request limit.

Is it possible to add credits or have pay per use without having to fully upgrade or change plans? especially given that the Read request is the only limit reached on my project and every other limit is barely used.

Im on the Education plan, and the only limit supassed is the reads limit all the other have not been touched, and the only way to pay per use seems to be by upgrading from my end, but seems a lot to upgrade everything after aving maxed a read limit through the CLI and terminal use. Can i not just buy credits to cover Read request

or upgrade to it

if upgraded for this month as this read request limit is now directly impacting Auth and sign in for other deployments that are live and public facing, will I be able to downgrade back to my current plan later?? Useage wise I have not come close to using the limits I currently have and due to this IDE and CLI integration that must have allowed the AI assistance to floor Read Requests while connecting to Appwite I have blown this one and only Read request Limit.

I ask as it currently does not make sense for me to stay on a higher tier just for read requests especially given that its not an expected or needed volume of read requests any of my build would ever require.
