Groq · Rate Limits

Groq Rate Limits

GroqCloud enforces per-account rate limits on synchronous inference expressed as RPM (requests per minute), RPD (requests per day), TPM (tokens per minute), TPD (tokens per day), and audio-specific ASH/ASD (audio seconds per hour/day). Limits vary by model and account spend tier and are visible in the GroqCloud console. Specific per-model values are not reconciled in this artifact.

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

It captures 6 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests, tokens, audio_seconds, and jobs.

An exhausted limit returns HTTP 429.

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 2 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include AI, LLM, Inference, LPU, and Low Latency.

Policies

Tiered Limits
Limits raise as accounts move from free to paid usage and via Enterprise agreements.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After.
