Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a Gemini rate limit last?
Gemini rate limits reset every minute on a rolling window basis. If you stop making requests, you should be able to resume API calls after waiting 60 seconds.
What is Gemini's API rate limit for private endpoints?
Gemini allows up to 600 requests per minute for private API endpoints, which equals approximately 10 requests per second.
Can I increase my Gemini API rate limits?
Gemini doesn't offer increased rate limits for individual accounts. All users are subject to the same 600 requests per minute limit for private endpoints.
Why am I getting rate limited when I'm not making many requests?
Rate limits apply per API key, so if you're running multiple applications or bots with the same API credentials, their requests combine toward the limit. Also check for loops or inefficient code making unexpected requests.
Does Gemini have different rate limits for public vs private endpoints?
Yes, Gemini has different rate limits for public endpoints (market data) versus private endpoints (account/trading functions). Private endpoints are limited to 600 requests per minute.
