## FAQ

### How does elevation affect the data?

Sun and moon times are corrected for the specific elevation provided, as higher altitudes allow for earlier sunrise and sunset observations.

### Can I use elevation parameters with tide height endpoints?

No, tide_heights and tide_extremes do not accept an elevation parameter because the ocean surface height is independent of the observer's elevation.

### What happens if I exceed my plan limits?

The client will raise a PlanLimitExceeded exception, which includes a limit attribute indicating the maximum allowed value.
