# Infercom Model Rate Limits

> Rate limits by model and plan tier for the Infercom API. Requests per minute, tokens per minute, and how to handle rate limit errors.

Rate limits are a mechanism to help manage Infercom API usage to provide stable performance and reliable service. They limit how many times each user can call the Infercom API within a given interval.

Rate limits are measured in:

* RPM: Requests per minute
* RPD: Requests per day

Basics

* A **request** is defined by a call to our API
* You can hit either limit type (RPM or RPD) depending on which one you reach first
* You will be notified in every request response what the status of your rate limits are ([see rate limit response headers for more information](#rate-limit-response-headers))
* If you hit a rate limit, you will be sent an error message in your response ([see API error codes](/en/api-reference/using-the-api/api-error-codes))
* Check the [Infercom Status Page](https://status.infercom.ai) for real-time platform and model availability

## Infercom Inference Service rate limit tiers

There are a few different rate limit tier offerings we provide:

* **Free Tier**: Applied when there is no payment method linked with your account
* **Developer Tier**: Applied when a payment method is linked with your account
* **Enterprise Tier**: Higher limits for production workloads

<Info>
  Please see the [Billing page](https://cloud.infercom.ai/plans/billing) to link a payment method to your account.

Below are our rate limits by tier.

## Rate limit response headers

These headers are found in every request response and give information about the current status of rate limit usage.

**RPM (Requests per minute):**

* `x-ratelimit-limit-requests`
  * The maximum number of requests allowed per minute.
* `x-ratelimit-remaining-requests`
  * The number of requests remaining in the current minute before hitting the rate limit.
* `x-ratelimit-reset-requests`
  * Time in epoch time until the per-minute request quota resets.

**RPD (Requests per day):**

* `x-ratelimit-limit-requests-day`
  * The maximum number of requests allowed per day.
* `x-ratelimit-remaining-requests-day`
  * The number of requests remaining in the current day before hitting the rate limit.
* `x-ratelimit-reset-requests-day`
  * Time in epoch time until the per-day request quota resets.
