Glacier's rate limiting is handled using a weighted scoring system. This allows users to make more basic requests and will better allow Glacier to handle more computationally complex requests.
Rate Limit Tiers
The maximum rate-limiting score for a user depends on their subscription level and is delineated in the following table:
| Subscription Level | Per Minute Limit | Per Day Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 8,000 | 2,00,000 |
| Base | 10,000 | 3,750,000 |
| Growth | 14,000 | 11,200,000 |
| Pro | 20,000 | 25,000,000 |
To update your subscription level use the AvaCloud Portal
Rate Limit Categories
The keys and values for each weight are as follows:
| Weight | Value |
|---|---|
| Free | 1 |
| Small | 10 |
| Medium | 20 |
| Large | 50 |
| XL | 100 |
| XXL | 200 |
