Directus cloud makes thousands of requests

Help
1

Hey,

I started using Directus Cloud 2 days ago, but I’ve alredy apparently made 5000 API calls. I’ve made few collections through the admin panel.

Can I see the logs of what API calls are made? This seems very unsustainable if I get hundreds of calls to pay for per single frontend action with zero users and few collections.

Hello @Teemu_Sormunen

You can use the Realtime Logs you will have to ask the cloud team to enable it for you, so that you can see the request getting made in real time.

Read more about it here: https://directus.io/docs/configuration/logging#realtime-logs

I actually found the answer from here: https://community.directus.com/t/counting-of-the-requests-in-cloud-plan/472/1 Basically, the admin panel simply A LOT of requests, and it explodes the costs for Directus Cloud. Kind of a bummer that majority of the quota is spent browsing the admin panel.
