What happens when I hit my usage limit on 8base?
Every paid plan includes overages for each metered resource. At the end of each month, you'll be billed for your selected workspace plan plus any overages above the included limits, ensuring that limits do not affect the performance or availability of your workspace. -
What is a Workspace API Call in 8base?
