How to ensure that you're on the higher API limit?

I often hit the API limit using this package. Supposedly I should be able to query the API 500 times a day but my suspicion is that I'm on the lower limit of 25. How can I make sure I'm on the higher limit?

Ok, from what it seems like, if you registered and have a key, that means you're on the higher limit.

Now i'm facing this issue where, it's my first time using the API today yet i'm being told i'm at the limit. Getting

REQUEST_NOT_PROCESSED
Request could not be serviced, as the daily threshold for total number of requests allocated to the user with registration key has been reached.

At a loss for what to do here.

I figured it out - i wasn't explicitly reading in the BLS_KEY into the registrationKey argument! I'd assumed that by adding the key to my .Renviron it'd be automatically read in, but that's not how it works.
