Pan and zoom the map below. Every tile it fetches is counted in your browser, in real time — requests, quota units, requests-per-second, burst — exactly the way our metering counts them. Switch mode to feel the difference between vector, raster and retina. Nothing here touches your real quota: internal traffic is unmetered.

Every tile request that reaches our servers counts, weighted by what it costs us to serve: vector 1 · raster 3 · retina 5 units (rendering raster is ~1000× more expensive than streaming vector bytes — the deep guide explains why). A typical map load fetches 6–16 tiles; each pan wave adds a few more. Rate limits are per account (keys share them) as a token bucket: you can burst well above the sustained rate for a moment — exactly what a map load needs. Over quota: Free pauses until next month, paid tiers get +10% grace. Your own CDN's cache hits never reach us and are free.
