# Rate Limits

> Request and WebSocket limits for the perps endpoints, by plan.

Perps REST endpoints share your key's standard `/v3` rate limit — there is no separate perps quota to think about.

| Plan       | Requests / minute           |
| ---------- | --------------------------- |
| Free       | 120                         |
| Starter    | 1,000                       |
| Growth     | 2,000                       |
| Enterprise | 4,000 (custom by agreement) |

Every response carries `x-ratelimit-limit`, `x-ratelimit-remaining`, and `x-ratelimit-reset` headers.

## WebSocket limits

Concurrent connections to `wss://perps.polynode.dev/ws` per key:

| Plan       | Connections | Channel subscriptions per key |
| ---------- | ----------- | ----------------------------- |
| Free       | 1           | 1                             |
| Starter    | 10          | 500                           |
| Growth     | 50          | 3,000                         |
| Enterprise | unlimited   | 50,000                        |

One connection can carry all your channels — the subscription cap is what matters, and a single subscription like `perps_tickers` covers every instrument at once.

## Practical notes

* If you find yourself polling market data faster than about once a second, the [WebSocket](/perps/websocket/overview) will serve you better — it pushes every update as it happens.
* Wallet portfolio data refreshes every few seconds; querying the same wallet faster than that returns the same snapshot.
* Historical endpoints (`/oi`, `/volume`, time-windowed `/trades`) paginate with `limit` + `more`; prefer larger pages over many small ones.
