### What is a rate limit on this API?

A ceiling per bucket inside a fixed window. The limiter counts a request in the API process, lets the first 600 through inside a 1 min window on one API key, and refuses the next one with 429 rate_limit_exceeded. The window starts at the first request after the previous window ended, and every number in the table above is read from the object the limiter itself reads.

### Which limit counts my chat calls %E2%80%94 the key or the organization?

Both, and both have to pass. key_chat counts 600 inference calls per API key in 1 min, org_chat counts 1800 across the whole organization in the same window. A call that reaches either ceiling is refused, and the message says which one: the per-key message carries the window reset instant, the per-organization message does not.

### Do I have to read the message to find out when to retry?

For a limit counted per key or per IP address, yes. This deployment sets no Retry-After header, so the reset instant inside the message text %E2%80%94 an ISO 8601 timestamp taken from the limiter's own window end %E2%80%94 is the only clock the response carries. For the per-organization limit the message names no time at all, so back off exponentially there. A retry before the window rolls cannot succeed: the counter only moves when the window does.

### Is the counter shared across API nodes, or per process?

Per API process. Windows live in memory and are written back to the rate_limits table every 15 seconds and on shutdown, then restored on boot, so a restart continues a window instead of handing out a fresh budget. Two API nodes therefore double every effective limit. REDIS_URL is reserved for the shared version and nothing reads it yet, so run one API node or accept per-node limits.

### Are all of these limits actually applied?

No. public_page is defined in the limiter table but no request path checks it on this deployment, and the table above marks it as not enforced for that reason. Every other row is named at a limiter call site, which is what applied means on this page.

### How many requests may be in flight at once on one key?

8 at most. The count is kept per API key, raised when a call enters the chat handler and lowered when it finishes, and a request above the cap is refused at once with the same 429 rate_limit_exceeded %E2%80%94 there is no queue behind it.
