Hello,

We are currently working with Auth0 in our application. To handle the login we are calling an endpoint oauth/token with the “password” grant-type. Everytime we call this endpoint does this count towards the M2M tokens quota?

Hi @goncalo.rodrigues,

Calling the `/oauth/token` endpoint with the **password** grant-type does not count towards the M2M tokens quota.

The M2M quota only increments when you request with the [**client\_credentials** grant-type.](https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/authentication-and-authorization-flow/client-credentials-flow)

Thanks,  
Rueben

Hello @rueben.tiow ,

Thanks in advance for your response.

What about the Monthly Active Users quota? Does requesting tokens with the password grant-type for a specific user count towards that quota?

Hi @goncalo.rodrigues,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, the Monthly Active Users quota increments whenever a user logs in at least once within that calendar month, which includes Social, Password, Passwordless, and Enterprise user types.

(Reference: [Monitor Subscription Usage](https://auth0.com/docs/troubleshoot/customer-support/manage-subscriptions/monitor-subscription-usage#active-users))

Thanks,  
Rueben
