Rate limits

OctaRouter applies fair-use rate limits to protect shared infrastructure:

• Auth endpoints (login, signup, OTP): IP-based limits via Postgres-backed counters.
• API requests: per-route limits and upstream provider quotas to keep the service reliable for everyone.

Client guidance

• On 429, use exponential backoff with jitter.
• Prefer streaming for long completions to avoid idle timeouts.
• Rotate keys if a secret is exposed; revoke old keys in the dashboard.

Contact your operator if you need higher sustained throughput.
