Hello,

The documentation says that the api rate limit for chat apis would be 10 requests/second. Is that accurate? Does it depend on the token’s account type? Appreciate the response.

Hi @snpatel_zoom,

Yes that is accurate and based on account type. We are working expand our rate limits to token/account type, however we don’t have a timeline right now of when it will be available.

Thanks

Thanks Michael. What are the rate limits by account type. The documentation does not specify it by account type.

@snpatel_zoom The rate limits posted on within the documentation are for the entire account type.
