# Added API Access Lite Plan + Smarter Age-Window Defaults for Jobs API

jobdataapi.com 4.24 / API version 1.27

---

We’ve introduced a new **API access lite** subscription plan and updated `/api/jobs/` query behavior to improve response efficiency and reduce unnecessary data transfer on broad queries.

By default, `/api/jobs/` now uses a **latest 90-day window** (`max_age=90`) when no age/date/ID slicing is provided. This helps keep common requests faster and leaner, especially for high-volume usage patterns.

To avoid silent cutoffs when you intentionally query ranges, the default 90-day window is automatically not applied as soon as you use any slicing parameter (`published_since`, `published_until`, `min_id`, `max_id`, `min_age`, or `max_age`).

If you're on a non-lite access plan, you can also explicitly disable age limiting with:

- `max_age=off`
- `max_age=null`
- `max_age=0`

The new **API access lite** plan is optimized for recent-job workflows and is always limited to the latest 90 days on `/api/jobs/`. Date/ID/age slicing parameters are not available on **API access lite**.

These updates are designed to balance speed, resource efficiency, and predictable query behavior across plans. See the updated [Jobs API Endpoint Documentation](/c/jobs-api-endpoint-documentation/) for full details.
