Concurrency limits control how many requests your account can process at the same time. Requests beyond your limit are rejected with a 429 error code. Your concurrency limit is determined by your credit purchase history, and applies at the platform level across all endpoints you call.

How it works

When you submit a request, the platform tracks it against your concurrency limit. If you exceed the limit, additional requests are rejected with a 429 error until in-flight requests complete.

Default limits

Every new account starts with a concurrency limit of 5 concurrent requests. As you purchase credits, the platform automatically increases your limit based on the total amount of paid invoices from the last four weeks. Self-serve limits scale up to 40 concurrent requests.

Model-based limits

Higher-cost models have a lower allowed concurrency. When you call a model that costs more than $5 per request, your concurrency limit for that model is one quarter of your account limit. Requests to lower-cost models continue to use your full account limit, and the two limits are tracked independently.
