are free APIs limited in usage?

[open apex]

currently trying out inclusionai/ring-2.6-1t:free, got

" Error: 429 Rate limit exceeded: free-models-per-day. Add 5 credits to unlock 1000 free model requests per day"

when I tried to spin up another instance, now neither of them runs, just double checking whether I got capped thats all. thanks

Yes, 50 req/day if you have less than $10 topped up total, or 1000 req/day otherwise
Seems like you've already topped up $5 in your account
