# Rate Limits

> Rate limits are set per subscription plan

<Info>
  ### Rate limits vs credits

  Rate limits are based on *requests per min* and are fully independent of overall credits usage. Going over your credits will *not* automatically trigger rate limits.
</Info>

## Rate limits are set per subscription plan

* Starter plan rate limits are 300 <Tooltip tip="RPM - Requests per minute"> RPM </Tooltip> or 5 <Tooltip tip="RPS - Requests per second"> RPS </Tooltip> per API endpoint
* Growth plan rate limits are 600 <Tooltip tip="RPM - Requests per minute"> RPM </Tooltip> or 10 <Tooltip tip="RPS - Requests per second"> RPS </Tooltip> per API endpoint
* Scale plan rate limits are 1200 <Tooltip tip="RPM - Requests per minute"> RPM </Tooltip> or 20 <Tooltip tip="RPS - Requests per second"> RPS </Tooltip> 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 <Tooltip tip="RPM - Requests per minute"> RPM </Tooltip>

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.

| API                                        | Starter (RPM) | Growth (<Tooltip tip="RPM - Requests per minute"> RPM </Tooltip>) | Scale (<Tooltip tip="RPM - Requests per minute"> RPM </Tooltip>) | Enterprise |

## 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.

| API             | Starter (<Tooltip tip="RPM - Requests per minute"> RPM </Tooltip>) | Growth (<Tooltip tip="RPM - Requests per minute"> RPM </Tooltip>) | Scale (<Tooltip tip="RPM - Requests per minute"> RPM </Tooltip>) | Enterprise |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------- |
| Across all APIs | 500                                                                | 1000                                                              | 2000                                                             | Custom     |

## 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.

| Casts per 24h | Available Storage Required  |
| ------------- | --------------------------- |
| \< 1000       | No requirement              |
| ≥ 1000        | 20% of past 24h cast volume |
