Exports cover the full set of matching records. There is no per-export record cap, so you do not need to split a large search into smaller queries. Each exported record spends one credit—check your remaining balance before exporting a large result set.
CSV export requires a paid plan; the export action is unavailable on the Free plan. Retrieving records through the API is metered the same way, one credit per record.
