AccountRate Limits

Rate Limits

Rate limits control how often you can use AiSpace features. Your limits depend on your token tier and apply separately to chat and image generation.

How Rate Limits Work

Rate limits prevent abuse and ensure fair usage for all users:

  • Chat limits: Reset every 24 hours
  • Image limits: Reset every 24 hours
  • Video limits: Reset every 24 hours
  • Separate counters: Chat, image, and video limits don’t affect each other
  • Automatic reset: Limits reset automatically when the period ends

Premium Model Limits

Expensive models (Claude, GPT-5, Gemini Pro, Recraft V4 Pro, Sora, Veo, Kling Pro, etc.) consume a separate daily quota in addition to base limits. This “tier within a tier” prevents abuse while keeping standard and budget models generous. See Token Tiers for full premium quotas.

Understanding Limit Periods

Chat Message Limits (24-hour window)

  • Window: Rolling 24-hour period
  • Tracking: Messages sent in the last 24 hours
  • Reset: Automatically as old messages age out
  • Example: If limit is 300, you can send 300 messages, then wait for the window to reset

Tips for Managing Limits

  1. Plan your usage: Space out requests over time
  2. Upgrade your tier: Higher tiers have better limits
  3. Use separate features: Chat and image limits are independent
  4. Monitor your usage: Watch the countdown timers
  5. Wait for reset: Limits reset automatically as periods roll over

Upgrading to Higher Limits

To get better rate limits:

  1. Acquire $AISPACE tokens: Purchase tokens to reach tier thresholds
  2. Hold in connected wallet: Balance determines your tier
  3. Automatic upgrade: Tier updates when balance changes
  4. Enjoy higher limits: New limits apply immediately

See Token Tiers for detailed tier information.
