# Account limits

> How many GPUs your account runs at once, which GPU classes it can start, how much credit it adds per day, and how the limits rise.

Every organization has a tier. The tier sets three limits: GPUs running at once, GPU classes, and credit added per 24 hours. See yours in **Billing**, under **Account limits**, or with `GET /v1/limits`.

## Tiers

| Tier | GPUs at once | GPU classes | How you reach it |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Not verified** | 0 | None | New account: buys credit, starts no machine |
| **Starter** | 1 | Entry | E-mail confirmed and a card saved, or a first payment |
| **Standard** | 2 | Entry, standard | Organization 7 days old, and a minimum amount paid |
| **Scale** | 8 | All | Organization 30 days old, and a higher amount paid |
| **Custom** | Set with you | All | On request, through support |

**Account limits** shows what is in use, the credit allowed per 24 hours, and what the next tier needs.

## GPU classes

- **Entry**: 32 GB of GPU memory or less per card.
- **Flagship**: H100, H200 and newer data center GPUs, such as B200 and GB200.
- **Standard**: every other GPU, such as A100 and L40.

## How limits rise

- Automatically, after a successful payment, at each launch, and every hour.
- A payment counts after 72 hours, or at once from your second successful payment.
- Paying twice a tier's amount skips its waiting period.
- Refunded and disputed payments do not count.
- Need more now? Select **Request a higher limit** in **Account limits** or on the launch page. Support reviews the request.

Limits never drop on their own. A payment dispute returns the account to **Starter**.

## When a launch goes past a limit

The launch is refused before anything is held or charged. The console says which limit and when it rises. The API answers `403 TRUST_LIMIT`.

- **GPUs at once**: stop a running session, or request a higher limit.
- **GPU class**: pick a GPU from a class your tier allows.
- **Credit per 24 hours**: add the rest the next day, or request a higher limit.

An API key can carry its own spending limits on top of these. See [Spending limits](https://nodelodge.com/docs/api#spending-limits).
