I just began using this API, primarily for the FindNearestIntersection method.

I couldn't find any mention of daily or hourly query limits. Is there currently a cap for those, if you're a free user?

Thanks!

30'000 credits daily limit per application (identified by the parameter 'username'), the hourly limit is 2000 credits. A credit is a web service request hit for most services. An exception is thrown when the limit is exceeded.
