On Saturday afternoon, my account was migrated from the **Legacy Business plan** to the new Glide pricing model.
Before the migration was completed, I made sure to **disable all actions using Trigger Webhook and Files Update** , since those would generate extra updates under the new pricing.
My goal was to keep the app using only **Glide Tables and Big Tables** , which, according to the plan details, shouldn’t generate additional updates.
However, I’m now being charged for something called **“Glide Query API”** , and the number of updates increased very quickly — from Saturday until now, my usage has already reached **3,697 updates** , which is far higher than I expected and wasn’t something I was charged for under the Legacy plan.
The only API usage I have is a **single GET Rows request** from one specific glide big table with 32k rows, used to power a **Streamlit dashboard in Python**.
This request is **not scheduled** , it only runs when someone opens the report manually. So on Saturday afternoon, when no one on my team was working, there shouldn’t have been any activity — yet I saw over **2,000 updates** being consumed gradually.
I’m currently in contact with support to have my **API key blocked** while investigating the issue, since I see three possible scenarios:
1. Something changed in the API billing policy during the transition, and I’m now being charged differently for the same usage;
2. Someone might be using my API key without authorization;
3. Something may have gone wrong in the Enterprise migration, causing these charges by mistake.
Has anyone experienced something similar, or used the API in a setup with **Streamlit or similar tools**?
I’d really appreciate any insights to help me understand if I might be **misinterpreting how API usage is counted** , since I haven’t changed anything about how my app interacts with the API compared to before the new pricing model.

Do you have any external processes that regularly query your App/s via the API?
In general, the Query API endpoint will use one update every time it is called.
