Check Limits

Check whether limits are reached before sending meta transaction
Developer can apply limits on the usage of meta transaction from the Dashboard on per DApp, per User and per API for each user.
So before sending meta transaction on client side, developer can use this API to check whether the limits have already reached or not. If limits are reached developer can either fallback to default web3 provider, show a message to user that your free transactions limits have been exhausted and let user pay the gas fee or show an error message to the user.

Check Limits
https://api.biconomy.io/api/v1/dapp/checkLimits?userAddress=<user_address>&apiId=<api_id>
This API lets you know the current status of DApp limits for a particular user address and api id (smart contract method).
In case when limits are exhausted, response will contain information about what was the type of limits applied and when the limits will be reset.

Response
200: OK
When limits are not exhausted. "allowed" field in the response should be checked first if limits are allowed or not.
If "allowed" == true, then limits are not consumed and user can do meta transaction without any limit failure.

If "allowed" == false then limits are exhausted, in this case "code" field will have different values based on the limit exhausted as mentioned below
code = 150   when DApp limits are exhausted
code = 151   when User limits are exhausted
code = 152   when API/User limits are exhausted 

In case of failure, "limit" key will contain information about type of limit exhausted and the limit reset time (in GMT)

limit.type = 0 || 1 
0 if the limit was applied on gas usage.
1 if the limit was applied on the number of meta transaction.

limit.resetTime = <number of milliseconds since epoch time in GMT timezone>
Please convert it to local timezone if this is needed to show to the end user.

limit.limitLeft = <limit applied - limit usage>
Difference between limit value applied on the dashboard and limit usage done by the user. This will be either 0 or negative value.
