Postman provides tools to help you manage your team's monitor usage. Track the number of monitoring requests that have been made against your plan's monthly usage limit, and enable overages or purchase more blocks if needed. You can also view all of the monitors your team has created to make sure you're not exceeding monitor activity limits.
To learn more about the resources included with your Postman plan and what happens when you reach your usage limits, see About resource usage.
The maximum number of monitoring API calls you can make each month depends on your Postman plan. To check your team's monitor usage, review the following dashboards:
The Monitoring Usage dashboard displays your team's current billing period, the number of monitoring APIs made, and which monitors have run. The dashboard also displays each monitor's name, status, creator, and number of requests sent.
Concerned about overages? Go to your Monitoring Usage dashboard for a list of all of your team's active monitors in one place. You'll also find information to help you and your team make informed decisions on things like monitoring frequency. Learn more about monitor overages.
Monitor usage is calculated based on the number of monitoring API calls:
If you use the
pm.execution.setNextRequest()
function to skip a request or run a request multiple times, Postman adjusts monitor usage as necessary. Postman also counts any requests required for authorization.
With a free Postman account, once you've reached your monthly usage limit, your monitors are automatically paused for the remainder of the billing period. To continue using monitoring for the remainder of the billing period, upgrade your Postman plan.
With a paid Postman account, you have the option to enable monitoring overages. Once you've reached your monthly usage limit, your monitors continue to run, and you are charged at a pay-as-you-go rate for each monitoring API call.
Overages are allowed by default for paid Postman accounts. To disallow overages, select Team > Resource Usage to open the Resource Usage dashboard, and then turn off Pay-as-you-go under Monitoring Usage.
Instead of paying for overages after reaching your monthly usage limit, you have the option to purchase more blocks of monitoring calls. Purchasing blocks may offer savings compared the pay-as-you-go rate, depending on the number of monitoring calls your team makes.
To purchase more monitoring call blocks, do the following:
Unused monitoring calls or blocks expire at the end of the billing period and don't roll over to the next month.
Postman maintains default limits on various team and user actions to ensure the overall performance and availability of monitoring. Postman will email your Team Admins if your team encounters these limits. In addition, team members will get an alert in Postman.
Postman maintains the following monitoring limits per team:
