Using Reduck
Quotas and limits
Three counters run against your plan, and they reset at the end of each billing period. Ask your
agent for whoami to see all three at once, with the date they reset.
| Counter | Spent by | If you hit it |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly script runs | Every run, on any browser | A bigger plan is the only lever. |
| Cloud browser time | Managed runs, per minute | Run on your paired browser instead. |
| Residential proxy bandwidth | Managed runs that set a country |
Drop the country and egress from the datacenter. |
A run on your own Chrome spends nothing but the run count: the browser is yours, and the traffic is your connection.
A run refused for quota answers with the counter that stopped it, what it had spent, and when the period resets — so your agent can tell you which of the three is the problem rather than that “something failed”.
Where the limits are
Two limits are about one call rather than about your plan:
- 20 scripts per call. A batch can hold up to twenty; past that, make a second call.
- Concurrency slots. Each script in a batch takes a slot on the target. Asking for more than
are free is fine — the rest queue and drain.
queuedmeans waiting, not offline.
Timeouts
A script gets 30 seconds per action by default: a click, a wait for an element, anything that has to happen on the page. Navigation has a budget of its own, which matters on heavy single-page sites where the page is usable long before it stops loading.
Both are set inside the script, so a site that needs longer gets it there rather than from a setting on your account.
Managed browsers
Managed runs are entitled per account, not just metered. Where an account does not have them, the option is absent from what the agent is offered rather than failing at the moment of the run — so an agent cannot spend cloud browser time you did not agree to. The REST API is the door built for managed runs; see Browsers.
