Rate Limits

You can manage the following rate limits for each category:

  • Tenant-Level Rate Limits: The maximum number of credits all users can consume during each interval.
  • User-Level Rate Limits: The maximum number of credits an individual user can consume during each interval.
  • Department-Level Rate Limits: The maximum number of credits users in a department can consume during each interval.

Tenant-, user-, and department-level rate limits work together. Credits can be consumed only when all applicable limits have available capacity. If any limit is reached, users must wait until that limit resets before consuming more credits. If multiple intervals are enabled, all configured limits apply.

Important:

  • Rate limits reset according to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
  • The monthly cap must be greater than or equal to the weekly cap.
  • The weekly cap must be greater than or equal to the daily cap.
  • The daily cap must be greater than or equal to the hourly cap.
