It says I reached the rate limit again, despite the fact I haven’t wasted a lot.
When is this going to be fixed? When will it be fixed, devs? I’m starting to get sick and tired of these stupid rate limit errors.
This is a farce that I hated the most.
Hi @ScarletMarines,
The Gemini API has rate limits that are measured across three main dimensions:
-
Requests per Minute (RPM):The number of API calls you can make per minute.
-
Tokens per Minute (TPM): The number of tokens you can process per minute. This includes both your input and the generated output.
-
Requests per Day (RPD): The total number of API calls you can make in a day.
Exceeding any of these limits will result in a rate limit error. These limits are applied per project, not per API key.
The Gemini API has different usage tiers and upgrading to a higher tier will increase your rate limits.
Thank you!
I want to know the limits of such RPM, TPM and RPD, because the information provided isn’t clear
