Civitai Rate Limits

Documented rate-limit and quota surface for Civitai. As of May 2026 Civitai's developer docs note that per-tier rate limits and scope-level limits are pending finalization for the Orchestration API. The effective constraints in practice are Buzz balance, per-app OAuth spend caps, and the orchestrator's internal racing/scheduling. Site API public reads are cached; authenticated endpoints are not cached and are subject to abuse-mitigation throttling.

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

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, across the Free, Bronze / Silver / Gold, and OAuth app (delegated) tiers.

The profile also includes response codes documented for throttled and insufficientCredit.

Tagged areas include Rate Limiting, Quotas, and AI.
