# Request a sending-limit increase

`POST /v1/projectId/{projectId}/production-access/limit-increase`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.bluefox.email`
- URL: `https://api.bluefox.email/v1/projectId/{projectId}/production-access/limit-increase`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Production projects only, and only once a production-access request already exists. Fails if a limit-increase is already pending.

## Path parameters

- `projectId` string, required

## Request body

- LimitIncreaseInput
  - `monthlyLimit` integer, required: Must be higher than the project's current monthlyLimit, except 0 which is always accepted (used to reset/clear the limit).
  - `reason` string, required: At least 10 characters.

## Response `200`

OK

- object
  - `status` integer
  - `result` ProductionAccessStatus
    - `requestStatus` 'none' | 'pending' | 'approved' | 'declined' | 'revoked': "none" means no request has been submitted yet.
    - `domainStatus` 'none' | 'pending' | 'verified'
    - `verifiedDomain` string: Empty string if none is verified yet.
    - `monthlyLimit` integer
    - `sendingRates` object[]
      - `region` string
      - `ratePerSecond` integer
    - `limitIncreases` ProductionAccessLimitIncrease[]
      - `requestedLimit` integer
      - `approvedLimit` integer
      - `reason` string
      - `status` 'pending' | 'approved' | 'declined'
      - `createdAt` string, date-time
    - `restricted` boolean: True if the project is currently blocked from sending on bluefox.email's shared infrastructure (see Project.restricted). Approval here does not lift a restriction - switch to BYO-AWS instead if this is true.
    - `restrictedReason` string, nullable

## Other responses

- `400`: Invalid request body or query - every violation found (missing/invalid/unexpected fields) is reported in one response, semicolon-separated, not just the first one hit.
- `403`: Missing or invalid API key
