> As of July 1, 2023, we will enforce two different rate limits for the free access tier:

> If you are using OAuth for authentication: 100 queries per minute per OAuth client id

> If you are not using OAuth for authentication: 10 queries per minute

So... doesn't this mean that each logged in Apollo/3rd party client user can make 100 requests per minute for free?

The Apollo developer says his average user makes less than 400 requests per day and it's somehow going to average $2.50 per user per month. I must be missing something.

No. That's the limit of how many queries can be made per minute on the free tier, but it doesn't state what the free tier entails or what it can be used for. My guess, based on Christian's post, is that third-party clients would not be eligible for the free tier and that the free tier is for uses like bots.

They would be eligible but they can't be useful if their allocation is just 100 requests per minute. That would be like 10 concurrent users tops. Probably even less.
