description: >-
  Socket meters the REST API with a per-organization quota expressed in units. Each endpoint
  consumes a documented number of units per call; when the quota is exhausted the API returns
  429. Remaining quota is reported by the /v0/quota endpoint.
style: quota-units
signal_endpoint: GET /v0/quota
status_on_exhaustion: 429
docs: https://docs.socket.dev/reference/quota
unit_costs:
- units: 1
  applies_to: Most reads and single-resource mutations (scans list/get/delete, repos, labels,
    policies read, package npm score/issues, SBOM exports).
- units: 10
  applies_to: Historical and analytics endpoints (historical alerts/dependencies/snapshots,
    fetch-fixes).
- units: 100

  note: Quota allotment and snapshot frequency scale with the plan (free plans get daily
    snapshots; paid plans multiple per day). Threat Feed requires an Enterprise add-on.
