Unlimited Node Pricing

An Unlimited Node is a single Dwellir endpoint with the meter switched off. While it is active, requests through that endpoint stop drawing on your plan's monthly API credit allowance. The endpoint is capped at the RPS ceiling you chose instead, and you pay one fixed monthly price with no per-response billing.

It sits between shared node plans and dedicated clusters: more headroom than a plan allowance, far less commitment than private infrastructure.

The ladder

Five rungs, priced at a flat $4.80 per RPS per month. There are no in-between steps.

Prices are monthly USD list, per node, exclusive of tax. Pricing version 2026-08-13.

Where the comparison comes from

rps × 2,600,000 seconds × $2.00 per million responses = metered equivalent

The metered equivalent is what the same throughput would cost at the Scale plan's per-million rate if you ran at the ceiling for a whole month — $5.20 per RPS per month, against the Unlimited Node's $4.80. It is the ceiling an Unlimited Node replaces, not an invented list price, so the headline saving only lands for customers who actually run near their cap. The flat, forecastable bill is the other half of the value.

Use the calculator to work out where your own workload lands.

What an Unlimited Node is

Unmetered requests

Requests through the endpoint no longer consume API credits. There is no credit counter to watch, no month-end throttling, and no compute-unit multiplier on trace or debug methods — consistent with Dwellir's normal billing, where 1 response = 1 credit on every method.

A ceiling, not a floor

The RPS figure is the cap the gateway enforces. It is not a throughput guarantee. Beneath the cap you get whatever the cluster behind the endpoint can serve. If you need contractually guaranteed throughput, that is a dedicated cluster.

The cap binds both ways

An Unlimited Node runs at its own RPS ceiling even when your plan's rate limit is higher. A Scale plan account (5,000 RPS) with a 100 RPS Unlimited Node gets 100 RPS on that endpoint. Pick the rung that matches your real peak.

One node, one endpoint

An Unlimited Node covers one endpoint route. Unmetering a second endpoint means a second Unlimited Node. This is deliberate: you can move a hot path to a ceiling and leave everything else on the shared plan.

Shared pool, not dedicated hardware

Unlimited Nodes are served from Dwellir's shared node pool. Dedicated hardware, custom regions, and a custom SLA are a separate product.

Premium endpoints

Buying an Unlimited Node on a locked premium endpoint adds the required premium add-on to the same purchase, as a second line item.

Exceeding the ceiling

Requests above the ceiling are rate limited at the edge and return the standard 429 response:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "error": {
    "code": -32005,
    "message": "Rate limit exceeded"
  },
  "id": 1
}

Nothing is charged at request time, so there is no way to run up an unexpected bill. Handle 429s the same way you would on a shared plan — see Rate Limits for retry and backoff guidance.

Billing mechanics

Choosing between the options

Rules of thumb:

• Your bill is unpredictable and overages keep appearing — move the noisy endpoint to an Unlimited Node.
• Your traffic is spiky but low on average — stay on the shared plan. A ceiling you use 20% of is worse value than credits.
• You need more than 1,000 RPS, specific regions, or a custom SLA — talk to us about a dedicated cluster.

Getting started

1. Open your endpoint in the dashboard.
2. Make it an Unlimited Node and pick the ceiling that covers your peak.
3. Keep using the same endpoint URL and API key — nothing about the request path changes.
