# List account limits and usage

> Retrieves the effective limits and current usage for an account. Monetary values use USD cents, and count-based limits use whole-number counts. Transaction limits do not include `window`, `currentAggregate`, or `usagePercent`. Aggregate fields can also be omitted when a usage source is unavailable.

    Circle's Accounts API provides endpoints for managing stablecoin accounts --
    including transfers,

    withdrawals, deposits, wire and ACH bank accounts, and blockchain addresses.


    An **Account** is a general representation of a ledger or custody object
    that holds balances. It can be a business account,

    a stablecoin account ledger for an end user, an extra sub-ledger, or any
    future custody solution.

            Transaction limits are excluded when this filter is present. The
            `PT24H` window is not supported with `operation=fiat_linking` or
            `operation=deposit_return_count`; these combinations return a `400`
            response. Use `P30D` for those operations.
