Acrcloud Rate Limits

ACRCloud meters the Identification API per recognition request and applies per-project concurrency limits tied to the plan provisioned for each access key. The Console and Metadata APIs are bearer-token administrative APIs with their own per-account request limits. Specific per-plan request-per-second and monthly recognition quotas are configured per project and are not reconciled in this artifact.

Acrcloud Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for ACRCloud on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.

It captures 5 rate-limit definitions, measuring concurrent_requests, requests, bytes, and platforms.

The profile also includes 2 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include Audio, Music Recognition, Audio Fingerprinting, Broadcast Monitoring, and Metadata.

Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter on 429 responses and honor Retry-After where present.
