# Set API limit

The API limit helps you control costs by defining a max number of exports per month for your account. This limit can be adjusted at any time from the [API Dashboard](https://www.mattermix.com/account/api).

By default your API will be limited to 50 exports per month when you first create your account. In order to increase this limit you will need to include a payment method on your subscription, which you can do from the [Subscription Dashboard](https://www.mattermix.com/account/subscription).
