Rate limits
SambaNova Cloud enforces rate limits on inference requests per model to ensure that developers are able to try the fastest inference.
Developer tier
Rate limits for the developer tier are described below.
Payment and credits limits are applied when a payment method is linked with the account. Credits only limits are applied when there is no additional payment method linked with the account. See more on the Billing page.
Preview models
Preview models in SambaNova Cloud are available as early-access offerings intended primarily for evaluation purposes. During the preview phase, these models have limited capacity but are fully functional in terms of accuracy and performance.

For rate limits in the Managed Subscription and Dedicated tiers, reach out to sales or contact us on our Community page so we can accommodate your projects needs.
Rate limit response headers
These headers found in the response give information about the current status of rate limit usage. The default rate limit header is in RPM.
RPM (Requests per minute):
x-ratelimit-limit-requests- The maximum number of requests allowed per minute.
x-ratelimit-remaining-requests- The number of requests remaining in the current minute before hitting the rate limit.
x-ratelimit-reset-requests- Time in epoch time until the per-minute request quota resets.
RPH (Requests per hour):
x-ratelimit-limit-requests-hour- The maximum number of requests allowed per hour.
x-ratelimit-remaining-requests-hour- The number of requests remaining in the current hour before hitting the rate limit.
x-ratelimit-reset-requests-hour- Time in epoch time until the per-hour request quota resets.
RPD (Requests per day):
x-ratelimit-limit-requests-day- The maximum number of requests allowed per day.
x-ratelimit-remaining-requests-day- The number of requests remaining in the current day before hitting the rate limit.
x-ratelimit-reset-requests-day- Time in epoch time until the per-day request quota rese
