Allowances and errors

The monthly library docs call allowance by plan, which calls count, and the error codes with their exit codes and hints.

Library docs calls are metered per team, per calendar month (UTC). Per-seat plans pool the allowance across the team: the figure is per seat, times the seats on the plan.

Plan Library docs calls a month
Free 2,000
Pro 10,000
Team 10,000 a seat, pooled
Business 20,000 a seat, pooled
Enterprise unmetered

A query, an index (including a refresh) and a private docs upload each count as one call. Reading usage, the library list, the dependency view and pins is free, and so is --dry-run. The scheduled freshness job is not charged to any team.

Errors

Code HTTP CLI exit code Meaning and next step
docs_allowance_exceeded 429 6 The month’s allowance is used up, or the team started more than 20 index jobs in an hour. Run overlane docs usage.
library_not_found 404 4 No official docs source was found. Give one with --source-url and --version.
source_blocked 400 6 The given --source-url is not a public HTTPS address.
invalid_request 400 2 A field is missing or malformed, or a private page contains a credential.

A refused call returns the same body over HTTP and from the MCP tool: {"error": {"code": "docs_allowance_exceeded", "message": "...", "hint": "overlane docs usage"}}. The exit codes are the CLI’s stable exit codes, listed in the CLI reference.
