Connector limits and errors

Two limits, and which one you are hitting

Every tool call is metered twice. There is a daily allowance that resets at midnight UTC and depends on your plan — smallest on the free trial, larger on Plus, largest on Pro — and a short per-minute ceiling that is the same on every plan. Both are counted per DawBets account, not per conversation. The odds calculators, the betting-terms glossary, sportsbook coverage, state availability and plan information are free tools: they meet the per-minute ceiling like everything else but never count against the daily allowance.

Neither is easy to reach. Your assistant answers a single question by firing off many tool calls at once, so one prompt like "find me the best NBA player props tonight" can spend a couple of dozen calls in a few seconds — and the per-minute ceiling is deliberately set well above that. Each limit message names the exact figure it enforced, and the daily one names the exact reset time — read the message rather than counting yourself, because both numbers are tuned on the server and change.

"Rate limit exceeded"

That is the per-minute ceiling — a burst of calls arriving faster than the connector accepts them. The error tells you how many seconds to wait; wait that long and ask again. Nothing is wrong with your account and no reconnection is needed.

"Daily tool-call limit reached"

You have spent your plan's allowance for the day. The message states the exact reset instant, which is always midnight UTC, and this one is terminal until then — retrying earlier will fail, and your assistant is told so it stops trying.

On the trial or on Plus, the same message says what a bigger plan buys and links to the pricing page. On Pro no upgrade is offered, because there is nothing above it. Note that the trial unlocks Pro-level tools but is metered on the smallest allowance on purpose — see How your free Pro trial works.

Access messages, and what each one means

These four read like a broken integration and are usually a two-minute fix. None of them disconnects anything: DawBets refuses one tool call at a time, in words your assistant reads back to you, rather than failing the sign-in.

Messages about one specific question

• ●"This DawBets account has no saved sportsbooks" — personalized answers filter to the books saved on your DawBets account instead of quietly showing you the whole market, so an empty list returns nothing. Pick your books in Settings, or name a sportsbook in the question.
• ●"Same-game parlay analysis requires a DawBets Pro subscription" — two or more legs from the same game need Pro. Pro is where they are priced at all: the slip check still combines the legs as though they were independent, and says so in its answer, while the correlation-aware price comes from same-game parlay pricing (how we price a same-game parlay). Straight bets and cross-game parlays are analyzed on Plus, so splitting the slip works.
• ●"Account tools are not yet available on the DawBets connector" or "Writing from the DawBets connector is not enabled yet" — the first covers every tool that reads your own account, the second every tool that writes to it (logging, correcting, settling or removing a bet, preferences, alert settings, presets, share links, ideas and feedback). Both families are switched on today, and each sits behind a switch that fails closed, so either message means the switch is temporarily off or we could not read it. Nothing is wrong with your account, market and calculator tools keep working, and you can make the change yourself at My Bets or Settings.
• ●"The boost builder requires a DawBets Pro subscription" — the boost builder and the same-game pricing tools are Pro on every surface, the connector included.

Authorization fails while adding the connector

This is the one failure on this page that is not a limit or a permission check, and the one time removing the connector is right — the usual cause is a stale authorization request from a half-finished attempt. Connect DawBets to Claude has the retry.
