Rate Limits

VoxParse applies per-user rate limits to ensure fair usage and platform stability.

Endpoint Limits

EndpointLimitWindow
POST /v1/transcribe10 requestsPer minute
GET /v1/balance60 requestsPer minute
GET /v1/jobs60 requestsPer minute

Rate Limit Response

When rate limited, you receive a 429 response with a retry_after field:

429 Response
{"error":{"message":"Rate limit exceeded. Max 10 transcriptions per minute.","code":429},"retry_after":12}

Best Practices

  • Implement exponential backoff with jitter on 429 responses
  • Queue transcription jobs and process them at a steady rate
  • Cache balance checks instead of polling on every request
  • Contact support if you need higher limits for production workloads
