A: Hey Coachmikemonte,

Using your own API key (BYOK) doesn't add new AgenticFlow limits on the number of calls you make to that specific external service (like OpenAI).

However, two limits still apply:

Your AgenticFlow Credits: Each step in your workflow (even a BYOK step) costs a small fixed amount of AgenticFlow credits. If you run out of these, your workflows stop.

Your External API Key Limits: You're always subject to the usage limits and rate limits set by the provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) on your own API key.

So, BYOK mainly shifts the cost of the LLM call off AgenticFlow credits, but doesn't remove the need for some AgenticFlow credits or your external provider's limits.
