Dify Rate Limits

Dify's published limits. Two independent mechanisms exist and they behave differently: a workspace-wide Knowledge Request rate limit measured per minute, and a plan-level API request quota measured per month on the free tier only. Neither is signalled with RateLimit-* response headers — Dify documents no rate-limit headers at all, so a client can only discover exhaustion from the status code and error code. This file replaces a 2026-05-04 scaffold whose headers and numbers were invented.

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

It captures 5 rate-limit definitions, across the Sandbox, Professional, Team, and Professional, Team tiers, measuring knowledge_requests and api_requests.

The profile also includes response codes documented for throttled, quotaExceeded, and planLimitOnKnowledgeWrites.

Tagged areas include Artificial Intelligence, LLMOps, Backend-as-a-Service, Agents, and Workflows.
