# Restrictions Batch geocoding is only available with an Enterprise plan. On all other plan levels, one geocode is permitted per request.
The results from geocoding with the mapbox.places mode must be displayed on a Mapbox map and cannot be stored permanently. The mapbox.places-permanent mode, available with an Enterprise plan, does not have these licensing restrictions. The Mapbox Geocoding API coverage map lists the types of geocoding results supported in each area of the world. Queries are limited to either a total of 20 words and numbers separated by spacing and punctuation or 256 characters. If you use the optional bounding box? parameter to filter results, note that the bounding box cannot cross the 180th meridian.
# Rate limits Use of the geocoding API is rate-limited by access token?. These limits vary by plan.
