FAQ

What are AI API concurrency limits?

AI APIs typically have two concurrency limits: RPM (Requests Per Minute) and TPM (Tokens Per Minute). For example, OpenAI Tier 1 account: GPT-4o is limited to 500 RPM and 30,000 TPM. Exceeding limits returns 429 errors.

How to avoid triggering API rate limits?

Core strategies: 1) Use token bucket algorithm to control request rate; 2) Implement exponential backoff retry (initial 1s, doubling each time, max 5 retries); 3) Multi-key rotation to distribute requests; 4) Request queue for peak shaving; 5) Cache common request results to reduce duplicate calls.

Is multi-key rotation against terms of service?

Multi-key rotation under the same account is usually not a violation, but using multiple accounts to bypass limits may violate terms. It's recommended to use official Batch API or Tier upgrades for higher peak limits — the most compliant approach.

How to calculate the number of API keys needed?

Formula: Required keys = Target QPS × 60 / Per-key RPM limit. For example, target 100 QPS with 500 RPM per key requires 100×60/500=12 keys. But also consider TPM limits and actual token consumption.

How to set exponential backoff retry parameters?

Recommended config: initial delay 1s, backoff multiplier 2, max delay 60s, max retries 5, add random jitter (±500ms) to avoid thundering herd. OpenAI official recommendation: when receiving 429, read the Retry-After header and wait the specified time.
