# FAQ

> Frequently asked questions about supplier allocations, metrics, polling, and pricing.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Are quota allocations seen in the Surveys and Quotas APIs specific to the supply partner?">
    Yes. All quotas and targets currently visible on the APIs are specific to the supplier. Our goal is to provide dedicated supplier allocations so that suppliers aren't forced to compete for a quota.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Are metrics observed on the Surveys and Quotas APIs specific to the supplier or the project overall?">
    The metrics observed are specific to the supply partner.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is it possible that allocations and quotas change throughout fieldwork?">
    Yes. Quotas and allocations can change during the course of fielding. For example, a Research Desk user may close a quota that is pacing ahead of plan. Also, if a supplier is underperforming, their quota may be re-allocated to another supplier to ensure the project fills to completion.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How often should we be polling the APIs?">
    We recommend polling the Surveys and Quotas endpoints every 2–3 minutes for changes. See [Rate Limits & Polling](https://docs.repdata.com/supply/overview/02-rate-limits).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="On the Quotas API, what does a “” (null) value in the Quota field mean?">
    It means there is no quota maximum or cap on that specific quota — it is effectively open. We recommend using the `ExpectedStreamCompletes` value as the quota cap if needed.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="After how many completes do ActualLOI and ActualIR initially update?">
    `ActualLOI` and `ActualIR` are initially updated after 20 completes.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is there a max CPI limit?">
    There is no maximum CPI; however, consumer projects should not typically exceed a CPI of $40. If you see a rate card higher than $100, please alert us and pause sample to that Stream.
