Rate limit

Answer in brief

A rate limit is the most requests or tokens a host accepts from one account in a minute or a day.

Rate limit in practice

Past the limit, requests are refused until the window resets. The price per token does not change, but the volume you can buy does.

Limits often start low for a new account and rise with spend or on request. They are usually in the documentation, not on the price page.
