What is the upload limit on soundcloud

I sometimes get the error: { error_message: 'Sorry, you\'ve exceeded your upload limit.' } when I post sound files to soundcloud, using their http api.

I couldn't find any explanation for this 'upload limit' in their documentations.

Does anyone know if it's a daily limit? or a size limit? or a combination of both?

Thanks

Sparko is mostly right. The only difference is that you can tell how much remaining time you have by requesting the current user details (GET /me) and you'll there will be a key called upload_seconds_remaining.

Free users get 2 hours. Pro gets 4 hours. Pro Unlimited is unlimited. Regardless of the plan, individual tracks also can not be longer than ~6.5hrs (I forget the exact number)

Individual files cannot exceed 500mb Uploading Audio Files

However, I'd imagine this relates to your overall limit for uploading audio to SoundCloud based on the plan attached to the account you're posting to i.e exceeding the 2 hours provided by the free plan.

The API doesn't appear to provide a property for the remaining time provided to the user, although you could infer this from [user]plan & looping through all of their tracks and summing each [track]duration (although probably not advised).
