Venice APIs
Rate Limits
This page describes the request and token rate limits for the Venice API.
Paid Tier Rate Limits
These rate limits apply to users who have purchased USD credits or staked VVV to gain VCU.
We will continue to monitor usage. As we add compute capacity to the network, we will review these limits. If you are consistently hitting rate limits, please contact support@venice.ai or post in the #API channel in Discord for assistance and we can work with you to raise your limits.
