Rate Limits

Rate limits control how often you can use AiSpace features. Your limits depend on your token tier and apply separately to chat, image, video, and audio 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
  • Audio limits: Reset every 24 hours
  • Separate counters: Chat, image, video, and audio 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

All feature limits use a rolling 24-hour window:

  • Tracking: Actions in the last 24 hours
  • Reset: Automatically as old actions age out
  • Example: If your audio limit is 2/day on Free, you can queue 2 music tracks, then wait for the window to reset

  • Navbar counters: Chat, image, video, and audio usage (hover the tier badge on desktop)
  • Remaining count: How many actions you have left
  • Countdown timer: Time until you can try again after a 429

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, image, video, and audio limits are independent
  4. Monitor your usage: Watch the navbar counters and 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.
