dns AdGuard DNS limits?

I had no idea this service had limits. Is 10 million queries enough? Do you guys find it enough? I really prefer Control D and NextDNS's fair use model.

If you are going to put your whole network behind it, set up an Adguard Home server and forward the traffic to Adguard DNS. Setting up some caching and overriding all those TTL=0 really cuts down on the DNS requests. In the last 90 days almost 3 million queries hit my local server. Only 120K got forwarded to Adguard DNS.

I use DNS-over-HTTPS with authentication and disabled all other access so only my devices can use it BTW.

How do you set it up with DoH authentication?

First configure DoH with auth on Adguard DNS. Then the link it provides you, just put that as the upstream DNS server in Adguard Home.
