Playfab API Pricing Error

Hi Playfab, Are failed playfab login Api calls charged? (Wrong account, password, account doesn't exist. A competitor can attack login multiple fake accounts to make multiple Login Api calls which can lead to large costs if charged. ) PS:

I have tried making a lot of fake calls with wrong account and password. Cloudscript calls wrong Entity token. But when looking at the paid call statistics in the Upgrade account, the fake calls and errors are still counted. So Playfab is not safe, each person's Title can be exposed and millions, hundreds of millions of fake calls come. The money bag will be torn

In fact, our API has request limits (you could check the limits in [Game Manager]->[Your Title]->[Title setting]->[Limits]), it can prevent an API from being called multiple times over a period.

Sorry, my question lies. Will ddos API calls, spam or wrong account password still be charged?

Yes, the failed API calls are also charged. But in fact, the competitor does not have to think about whether to call the API successfully or not. As long as he wants, he can call the login API correctly multiple times after creating an account. But regardless of whether the API is successfully called or not, our API has a request limit which can prevent an API from being called multiple times over a period. So, you don’t need to worry about “A competitor can attack login multiple fake accounts to make multiple Login Api calls which can lead to large costs if charged”.
