# Rate Limits

### What are the rate limits?

Rate limits keep the API fast for everyone. Limits apply per API key.

| Plan       | Rate (req/s) | Burst | Daily quota |
| ---------- | ------------ | ----- | ----------- |
| `default`  | 50           | 100   | 10,000      |
| `high`     | 200          | 500   | 100,000     |
| `no-limit` | 1000         | 2000  | none        |

If you exceed a limit, the API returns `429 Too Many Requests`. Back off and retry.
