# Limits

> Query size, target count, rounds, deadlines, and what bounds how many searches you can run.

* Query: 3–2000 characters. Outside that range the `POST` is `422`; whitespace only is `400`.
* Target: 1–50 results. Omitting the field leaves the server default of 50, which is the most expensive setting, so send a value you actually want.
* The server repeats the funnel for at most 6 rounds, then stops and sets `met` from what it actually found.
* `speed: "fast"` reads fewer pages than `advanced`. Send `fast` unless you want the deeper pass. Omitting `speed` selects `advanced`.
* `relax: true` is the default. Set `false` to keep every filter as first written.
* `sites` is optional. When it names websites, every search in the run stays on those sites. Leave it empty to search the web. At most 20 domains.
* Every run carries a deadline, published as `deadlineAt` and one hour out on the hosted service. A run still going then is ended by the server and lands as `interrupted` with `stopReason: "deadline"`.
* `GET /v1/searches` returns your 50 most recent runs. There are no paging parameters.
* Events expire 24 hours after they are written, which is also how long `result` keeps answering on a finished run.
* An API key's name is 1–100 characters.

## Concurrency

Nothing caps how many searches you run at once. The bound is money: each one holds $5.00 of available balance for its lifetime, so starting five at once needs $25.00 free, and the next is refused with a `402` until one of them lands or you top up. There is no per-account rate limit and no "already running a search" refusal: that was a property of the old one-run-per-connection transport and it is gone.

Streaming does not consume a slot either. Any number of readers can stream the same run, and a run keeps going whether or not anyone is reading it.
