Connector limits and errors

Two limits, and which one you are hitting

Every tool call is metered two ways. There is your plan's weekly bet allowance — the same meter as the Bet Feed, counting each distinct bet the connector returns once a week and shared with everything else you read that week (what counts). And there is 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 your allowance.

The per-minute ceiling is not 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 ceiling is deliberately set well above that. Each limit message names the exact figure it enforced and the exact reset time — read the message rather than counting yourself, because the 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.

"Weekly bet allowance used on this DawBets account"

You have read your plan's allowance of bets for the billing week — across the feed, the odds comparison, parlays, pushes and the connector together, since they share one meter. The message names how much was used and the exact instant the week resets, and it is terminal until then: retrying earlier fails, and your assistant is told so it stops trying. Bets you already read that week are still readable.

On Free and Pro the same message says what the next plan up raises the allowance to and links to the pricing page. On Max no upgrade is offered, because Max has no allowance and never sees this message. The plans article has what counts and what does not.

"Other DawBets bet lookups from this account are still running"

When the bet-returning calls your assistant fires at once could together read past what is left of your weekly allowance, they take turns instead. A call waits up to 15 seconds for the others to finish, then runs, or gets the weekly-allowance message if they used up the rest. You see this message only when the others take longer than that wait. Ask again in a moment and it gets a definite answer. Nothing was charged for the refused call.

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.
• ●A slip check that says the legs were combined "as though independent" — that is the slip check being honest about its own math, not a refusal: it multiplies the legs, and says so, while the correlation-aware price for two or more legs from the same game comes from same-game parlay pricing (how we price a same-game parlay), which the connector offers on every plan. A logged same-game parlay is recorded at the sportsbook’s own same-game price.
• ●"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.

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.
