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

Subscription LevelPer Minute LimitPer Day Limit
Unauthenticated6,0001,200,000
Free8,0002,000,000
Base10,0003,750,000
Growth14,00011,200,000
Pro20,00025,000,000

To update your subscription level use the AvaCloud Portal

The keys and values for each weight are as follows:
