API Rate Limits

To ensure fair usage and maintain the quality of service for all users, Fewzen AI implements rate limits on API requests. This guide explains our rate limiting policy, how to work within these limits, and best practices for optimizing your API usage.

Current Rate Limits

Note: Enterprise customers can contact our sales team for custom rate limits tailored to their specific needs.

Understanding Rate Limit Headers

Fewzen AI includes rate limit information in the response headers of each API request. You can use these headers to track your current usage and avoid exceeding the limits:

Handling Rate Limit Errors

If you exceed the rate limit, the API will return a 429 Too Many Requests response. The response will include a Retry-After header indicating the number of seconds to wait before making another request.

HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests
Content-Type: application/json
Retry-After: 60

{
  "error": {
    "message": "Rate limit exceeded. Please try again later.",
    "type": "rate_limit_error"
  }
}

Best Practices for Managing Rate Limits

2. Navigate to the "API Settings" section
3. Click on "Request Rate Limit Increase"
4. Fill out the form, providing details about your use case and required limits
5. Submit the request for review

Our team will review your request and get back to you within 2-3 business days. Please note that rate limit increases may require upgrading to a higher tier plan.
