Two quota buckets
Every tool call debits one of two monthly quotas, depending on which tool you call:
- ask quota — debited only by
ask_lexomat, the natural-language Q&A tool. - corpus quota — debited by the other 7 tools (
search_legislativa,search_judikatura,get_provision,get_interpretation,rank_authority,validate_citation,verify_answer).
The two quotas are tracked independently: calling the retrieval and
verification tools doesn't affect how many ask_lexomat questions you have
left, and vice versa.
Monthly caps by plan
| Plan | ask / month | corpus / month |
|---|---|---|
| trial (14-day) | 25 | 250 |
| starter / starter_org | 200 | 2,000 |
| plus / plus_org | 500 | 6,000 |
| free / prof_profile | 0 (blocked) | 0 (blocked) |
free and prof_profile have no MCP access at all — see Access tiers.
What happens when you hit a cap
Once a quota is used up for the month:
- Calling
ask_lexomatreturns a plain message telling you to manage usage in your account settings. - Calling any of the corpus-quota tools returns a message that the monthly allowance is used, that it resets at the start of the next billing month, along with a link to upgrade your plan.
There's no way to purchase extra quota mid-month or bypass the cap — you either wait for the reset or move to a plan with a higher allowance.
Why the corpus cap exists
The corpus tools (search_legislativa, search_judikatura, get_provision,
get_interpretation, rank_authority, validate_citation, verify_answer)
are deterministic — they don't call an LLM, so they carry no LLM cost. The
corpus cap is an anti-abuse limit, sized so that normal use of the connector
won't come close to hitting it. ask_lexomat is the only LLM-backed tool,
which is why it has its own, separate, lower quota.
