Rate limits vs compute units

Rate limits are based on requests per min and are fully independent of overall compute limit usage. Going over your compute units will not automatically trigger rate limits.

​
Rate limits are set per subscription plan

  • Starter plan rate limits are 300 or 5 per API endpoint
  • Growth plan rate limits are 600 or 10 per API endpoint
  • Scale plan rate limits are 1200 or 20 per API endpoint
If you need higher limits, reach out and we can set up an enterprise plan for you.

​
API-specific rate limits in

This type of rate limit is triggered when you call the same API above its API-specific threshold on your plan. As an example - On the Growth plan, you can call two different APIs at 500 RPM each for a total RPM of 1000 without triggering your rate limits.

Global rate limits in RPM

This type of rate limit is triggered when you call any API above the global threshold on your plan. /validate, /signer and signer/developer_managed APIs don’t count towards global rate limits.

​
Cast creation rate limits

This type of rate limit depends on number of casts the account has made in a 24 hour period and its available storage.
