------

The maximum number of monitoring API calls you can make each month depends on your Postman plan. Go to our [pricing page](https://www.postman.com/pricing/) and look for **API monitoring calls (monthly)** to see your limit based on your plan.

* **Note:** To view monitor usage, go to the [Monitoring Usage Details dashboard](https://go.postman.co/usage/monitors).

## Postman Free plan

Your usage of Monitoring is automatically blocked when you reach the limit.

## Postman paid plans

### Allowing monitor overages

You can [allow Monitoring overages](/docs/monitoring-your-api/monitor-usage/#enable-monitor-overages) so you can make calls beyond your team's monthly limit at  \$0.75/1000 calls. Disable it in your [Resource Usage dashboard](https://go.postman.co/billing/add-ons/overview), if you want to pause monitoring calls until your limit is reset.

### Purchasing monitoring blocks

[Additional API monitoring calls are available as Add ons](/docs/monitoring-your-api/monitor-usage/#purchase-monitoring-blocks) to Postman Basic, Professional, and Enterprise plans.

You can pre-purchase **50,000 calls** for **\$20** per block/month.
