What Are Rate Limits (RPM/TPM)?
Rate limits serve your personal protection: they prevent accidental API misuse from leading to uncontrolled costs. They also protect the infrastructure and ensure fair resource allocation.
Definitions
Section titled “Definitions”| Limit | Meaning |
|---|---|
| RPM (Requests per Minute) | Maximum API calls per minute |
| TPM (Tokens per Minute) | Maximum tokens per minute (input + output) |
- Base limits: for PoCs and smaller projects, no commitment required
- Increased limits: with commitment, scalable on demand
If you hit a limit, that’s not an error, it’s the protective mechanism doing its job. For higher limits, just talk to your contact person at noris.
