Coconut Rate Limits

Coconut does not publish explicit numeric request-per-second or request-per-minute API rate limits in its public documentation. Throughput is instead governed by plan-level processing concurrency: the free Test Plan processes jobs sequentially (one at a time) and limits media to one minute, while paid usage runs jobs in parallel. The ultrafast setting further parallelizes a single job by splitting the input into chunks. Specific per-account concurrency ceilings are not reconciled in this artifact.

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

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, measuring jobs and chunks.

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

Tagged areas include Video, Audio, Encoding, Transcoding, and Media.

Limits

Test Plan Concurrency account
jobs
1 (sequential)
Free Test Plan processes jobs one at a time; input limited to one minute.
Paid Plan Concurrency account
jobs
see provider documentation
Paid usage processes jobs in parallel; specific ceiling not publicly documented.
Ultrafast Chunking job
chunks
applies to inputs longer than one minute
A single job is split into chunks for parallel transcoding when settings.ultrafast is enabled.

Policies

Asynchronous Processing
Jobs run asynchronously; rely on webhook notifications for completion instead of tight polling.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After on any 429 responses.
