# How we count requests and operations

### App Dashboard

You can see the detailed statistics on the consumption on the app's dashboard:

You can see the stats on each endpoint/scenario

### GET-requests

Each time when your API-endpoint is requested for reading, the counter adds 1 request.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you specify parameter `pageSize = N` (by default N = 30), the counter adds  N/30 requests. For example, if you request 300 objects via a GET-request, you'll spend 10 requests from the limit.
{% endhint %}

Note that each field [render for link/arrayLink](/web-pages/components/multistep-form.md#setting-up-dynamic-inputs) consumes GET-requests.

### POST-requests

Each time when your API-endpoint or Webhook is requested for writing, the counter adds 1 request.

### HTTP-requests

Each time when you call third party API from scenarios using [HTTP-request step](/scenarios/editing-scenarios/integration-steps/http-request-step.md) or plugin, the counter adds 1 request.

### Regular processing operations

Each object processed (each scenario logs line) in a scenario step adds 1 to the counter.&#x20;

There are also **coefficients** for processing steps based on their complexity and resource consumption. Every processing-intense step is marked with the 🔥emoji and the coefficient numbers.&#x20;

* [JavaScript SDK](/scenarios/editing-scenarios/action-steps/js-sdk-step.md) operations taking longer than 0.5 seconds. **Coeff** = `time / 0.5`;
* [HTTP requests](/scenarios/editing-scenarios/integration-steps/http-request-step.md) running longer than 3 seconds. **Coeff** = `time / 3`;
* Operations involving heavy [context](/scenarios/using-variables/context-variables.md) greater than 1kb. **Coeff** = `Context size / 1kb;`
* Operations involving heavy object size greater than 64kb. **Coeff** = `Object size / 64kb.`

### Sync processing operations

Each object processed in a [sync scenario](/scenarios/synchronic-scenarios-1.md) step adds 1 to the counter.

The sync scenario processing is a resource-heavy operation. Thus the following multiplier was introduced:

* Synchronous scripts (the whole scenario peocessing time) that run over 5 seconds. Coeff = `time / 5`.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Example**: The scenario runs synchronically 12 seconds. The number of steps passed by the object is 10. The final operations from the limit = 24
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://readme.directual.com/pricing-and-billing/how-we-count-requests-and-operations.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
