Rate Limits & Quotas
To ensure service stability and fair usage, Heify enforces rate limits and resource quotas. This guide explains these limits and how to work within them.Rate Limits by Endpoint
Rate limits are applied per account and are measured in requests per minute with burst capacity.Configuration Endpoints
Configuration endpoints have lower limits since they’re typically used for setup operations, not high-frequency requests.
Transcription Endpoints
For example, if you have a 500 requests per minute limit (approximately 8.3 per second), a “burst” of 17 means that at any given point in time you can make up to 17 requests in rapid succession (in a burst) before the normal strict limit is applied.
Resource Quotas
In addition to rate limits, Heify enforces quotas on resources.Account Limits
