Did I just pay for nothing?

I hit my fast request limit, so I smashed the add 500 more button, because it was easier than digging for API keys.

As you can see in the image, I was, somehow, well over my 500 for the month.

I assumed this 500 would top it off, but it looks like I just tossed my money into a hole, since I’m still over my monthly, even with the extra 500.

Is this normal?

I see that you’ve exceeded your quota by 1507 requests out of your 1000. I don’t see anything unusual here. If you need more fast requests, just add them.

Yeah. I was somehow at 2500, when I was alerted that I was on slow. Only then did I add 500 more. That took me from 2500/500 to 2500/1000, but I just paid for basically nothing. Make more sense?
