Argil · Rate Limits

Argil Rate Limits

Argil's practical throughput ceiling is the account's monthly credit balance: video generation consumes credits (roughly 1,600 credits per 25 minutes of video), so the number of renders per month is bounded by the subscription tier. The API also enforces per-key request throttling and per-request constraints - moments are limited to a 500-character transcript or ~40 seconds of audio, extras are capped at 10 key-value pairs, and render callbacks must be HTTPS. Specific per-second/per-minute request ceilings are not reconciled in this artifact.

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

It captures 5 rate-limit definitions, measuring credits, requests, characters, seconds, and key_value_pairs.

The profile also includes 3 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include AI, Video Generation, Avatars, Rate Limiting, and Quotas.

Policies

Credit-Bounded Throughput
Generation volume is governed by the monthly credit balance; upgrade the tier or purchase credits to raise the ceiling.
Asynchronous Rendering
Rendering is asynchronous; use webhooks (VIDEO_GENERATION_SUCCESS / VIDEO_GENERATION_FAILED) instead of tight polling to stay within request limits.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After on 429 responses.
