Rate Limits

Vector AI implements tier-based rate limiting to ensure fair usage and platform stability. Rate limits are determined by your VECTOR token staking tier.

Rate Limit Structure

Tier	Staking Required	Request Frequency	Daily Limit	Burst Limit
Free	0 VECTOR	1 per 30 seconds	50 requests	5 requests
Bronze	100,000 VECTOR	1 per 10 seconds	500 requests	10 requests
Silver	1,000,000 VECTOR	1 per 5 seconds	2,500 requests	25 requests
Gold	10,000,000 VECTOR	Unlimited	Unlimited	100 requests
