Orders
Drip-feed
Drip-feed spreads one order over time. On the website the same option is called Speed. Use the classic form (runs and interval) or the simple form (drip_feed_total_minutes). The whole order takes at most 48 hours.
Two ways to ask for it
Pick one form per order. Sending both returns DRIP_FEED_CONFLICT. Empty values count as absent, and runs=1 is a normal order.
Classic: runs and interval
quantityintegerRequired- The quantity of each run. The order total is quantity times runs.
runsintegerRequired- Number of runs, from 2 to 100.
intervalintegerRequired- Minutes between runs, from 1 to 1440. Runs times interval can be at most 2880 minutes.
Simple: total minutes
quantityintegerRequired- The total quantity of the order.
drip_feed_total_minutesintegerRequired- Finish within this many minutes, from 1 to 2880. We choose the batches or delay that get closest to it.

}Limits
Runs go from 2 to 100, the interval from 1 to 1440 minutes, and the whole order takes at most 48 hours (2880 minutes) for every service. Each service lists its own limits in drip_feed: batches services take runs and an interval, unit_delay services take only a total time. A service with drip_feed set to null returns DRIP_FEED_NOT_AVAILABLE.
How the simple form is planned
For the simple form we split your quantity into batches, or into a delay between units, so that the order ends as close as possible to the time you asked for. Some quantities cannot be split evenly, so a quantity like 1000 or 990 spreads better than 997. The plan itself is not shown. order_details returns what you asked for.
What it costs
The charge is always the service rate times the total quantity. Drip-feed does not change the price, and an order that is canceled or only partly delivered is refunded by the usual rules.
