Here is some helpful information for you:

1. On the Teams plan, you get a total of 100,000 API calls per workspace per month. You can check how many API calls you’ve used so far by going into your workspace settings.
    
2. On the Business and Enterprise plans, you get an unlimited number of API calls, so you could upgrade to Business to remove your limit. Alternatively, you could try emailing support@airtable.com to see if they can reset your limit for this month. 
    
3. You can only make 5 API requests per second per base, as outlined here:
   https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/rate-limits
    
4. If you’re exceeding 5 API requests per second, one way to slow down your requests is by using Make’s advanced automations for Airtable, which gives you a “sleep” tool. If you’ve never used Make before, I’ve assembled a bunch of Make training resources in this thread.

Hope this helps!

How do I see my usage?

Try heading to Workspace settings and scrolling all the way to the bottom

There’s a section called ‘Public API usage’:

I’m not entirely sure it’s working right though; when I look at it for a workspace I’m pretty sure has API usage it shows it as no usage?

Is there anything I can do-- can I get some more for this period?

Hm, I think the safest way would be to upgrade your plan, really

If you’re really desperate you could try upgrading another workspace and moving your base there?  

It sounds like you might have hit Airtable’s Team plan API limit (100,000 calls per workspace per month). You can check your current usage by opening your Workspace settings and scrolling to the bottom, you’ll see a section labeled Public API usage.

That’s where Airtable tracks the total calls made through your API key (https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/rate-limits)

If you’re running automations or external scripts that poll frequently, consider batching or caching requests to stay within the limit. Moving to the Business plan removes the cap entirely, or you could reach out to Airtable support to ask for a one-time reset.

For ongoing projects that require continuous syncs without worrying about rate limits or token handling, it can help to run your integrations through a managed two-way sync layer instead of direct API calls, it offloads rate limiting, retries, and token rotation automatically while keeping data live across systems.
