# ApiVolumeReached Exception

**Exception Class:** `Tschucki\Alphavantage\Exceptions\ApiVolumeReached`

**Description:**

* This exception is thrown when the API call cannot be completed because the maximum API call volume has been reached for your current API plan or API key.

**Possible Causes:**

* Your API plan or key has reached its daily or monthly limit of API calls allowed by Alphavantage.
* You may need to upgrade your API plan or wait until your API call limit resets according to Alphavantage's policies.

**Handling:**

* If you encounter this exception, you should consider upgrading your Alphavantage API plan to allow for more API calls per day or month.
* Implement retry logic with exponential backoff if possible, as suggested by Alphavantage's rate limit documentation.
* Inform users or administrators about the limitation and possible solutions to avoid future interruptions.
