Token Caps, Spend Limits & Billing

Understand USD and token caps, request reservations, released funds and confirmed crypto deposits for the Unbound API.

Canonical production origin: https://unbound-me.com. This response is served by the production environment. Check /public/runtime for registration and demo-payment availability. Check deployment status before running examples; documentation is not an uptime guarantee.

API keys can have USD caps or whole-token caps. Token caps apply to billed input plus output tokens, not only the answer. The creation UI computes a conservative cost ceiling from the selected models' rates.

Each accepted request reserves its maximum charge and token allowance atomically. Concurrent requests share the remaining limits and account balance. Settlement releases unused reserved funds. Unconfirmed usage and provider errors are not charged. When an accepted request overruns the protected estimate, the excess is covered by unbound.ai; requests still require adequate allowance before acceptance.

A quote is an estimate, not a reservation or guarantee that later requests will fit. Other usage, reservations and changed rates can affect availability. Inspect GET /v1/billing for the actual key limit and receipt.

Real crypto credit requires a deposit to the exact asset/network/address shown by a server-created invoice and sufficient on-chain confirmations. Never infer a successful payment from opening a link or supplying a transaction hash. Check account state. Network fees are separate.

Demo card, BLIK, mobile wallet or crypto simulations are not real payment integrations. Production disables demo deposit creation and credit, including administrator approval. Existing preview credits are not migrated to production. Hosted Ollama models are planned, not a promise of an active deployment.

Real funded balances

Only confirmed on-chain invoice payments add usable credit. Test/manual balances and welcome bonuses are disabled. Previous test funds are removed by audited adjustments; historical usage and payment records remain available. New real deposits are credited in full without deduction for old test usage.
