Amazon Sagemaker Rate Limits

Amazon SageMaker exposes a control-plane API (CreateTrainingJob, CreateEndpoint, etc.) that follows AWS API throttling per account/region, plus a runtime InvokeEndpoint surface whose throughput scales with the underlying instance count and instance type. Endpoint-specific quotas (concurrent invocations, payload size, timeout) are configurable. ServiceQuotas governs the maximum number and type of instances per account.

Amazon Sagemaker Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Amazon SageMaker on the APIs.io network, in the API Commons Rate Limits shape.

It captures 5 rate-limit definitions, measuring varies, requests_per_second, bytes, seconds, and count.

Limit state is signalled in the requestId and retryAfter response headers, and an exhausted limit returns HTTP 400.

This profile was written by API Evangelist and has not been verified against a page the provider published; treat every limit as unconfirmed until a dated transcription replaces it.

The profile also includes 4 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled, quotaExceeded, and serviceUnavailable.

Tagged areas include Rate Limiting, Machine Learning, and SageMaker.

Limits

SageMaker control-plane API account/region
varies
see Service Quotas console for SageMaker
Standard AWS API throttling envelope.
InvokeEndpoint (real-time) endpoint
requests_per_second
scales with instance count and type
Default soft limit per endpoint; configure auto-scaling on the production variant. Payload up to 6 MB synchronous, 1 GB asynchronous.
InvokeEndpoint payload size endpoint
bytes
6291456
6 MB max synchronous payload; use AsynchronousInferenceConfig for larger payloads (up to 1 GB).
Synchronous invocation timeout endpoint
seconds · second
60
Default 60s; can be raised on async endpoints up to 1 hour.
ML instances per type per region account/region
count
see Service Quotas console for SageMaker
Soft limits; raise via Service Quotas before training/deploying at scale.

Policies

Backoff with jitter
AWS SDKs default to standard retry mode (truncated exponential backoff with jitter, max 20s, 3 attempts).
Auto-scaling
Configure target-tracking scaling on production variants (InvocationsPerInstance) to absorb load.
Quota increases
ML instance counts, training-job concurrency, and notebook quotas are all soft limits; raise via Service Quotas before campaigns.
Async inference for large payloads
Use SageMaker Asynchronous Inference for payloads >6 MB or processing >60s, queuing requests to a SageMaker-managed S3 location.
