If you've noticed a significant spike in your API usage, there are a few key areas to consider.

  • Growth and Activity: Your usage might increase naturally due to more users, successful marketing, seasonal trends, or new features and app updates. These all lead to more API requests.

  • Security and Malicious Activity: Problems like exposed API keys, unauthorized access, bots, or DDoS attacks can cause unexpected surges in usage.

  • Check Logs and Security: Review your API and server logs for unusual patterns and ensure your API keys are securely managed.
