Rate Limits

Rate limits are applied per API key and vary by endpoint and model.

Every response includes headers describing your current limit status:

x-ratelimit-limit-requests: 500
x-ratelimit-remaining-requests: 493
x-ratelimit-reset-requests: 42s

If you exceed your limit, the API returns an HTTP 429 status. Guidelines for handling this:

• Use exponential backoff before retrying.
• Prefer smaller, efficient models like Verty for high-volume workloads such as embeddings.
• Contact your Organization admin on Pixel to request a limit increase for production workloads.
