Usage Metrics

Job Limit Reached

When you reach your job limit:

• Existing jobs continue to work normally
• You cannot create new jobs until you upgrade or remove old ones
• You'll receive a notification in the dashboard
• Option to add additional monitors ($1.50/month each on Pro plan)

Monthly Run Limit Reached

When you exceed your monthly runs:

• We continue monitoring your jobs without interruption
• You'll receive a notification to upgrade your plan
• Data older than your retention period is archived

API Rate Limit

Rate limit: 100 requests per minute

• Requests beyond the limit receive a 429 status code
• SDK automatically retries after the rate limit window
• Implement exponential backoff in custom integrations
• Enterprise plans can request higher rate limits

Best Practices

• Consolidate jobs: Group similar scripts under one job name
• Adjust heartbeat frequency: Reduce heartbeat calls for shorter jobs
• Use metadata efficiently: Avoid sending large payloads
• Archive old jobs: Remove monitoring for deprecated scripts
• Batch operations: Group multiple operations into single API calls

Example: Reducing API Calls

# Instead of calling heartbeat every second:
while processing:
    do_work()
    time.sleep(1)
    seer.heartbeat()  # Too frequent!

# Call heartbeat every 5 minutes:
while processing:
    do_work()
    if time.time() - last_heartbeat > 300:
        seer.heartbeat()
        last_heartbeat = time.time()
