Jina AI · Rate Limits

Jina Ai Rate Limits

Jina AI applies per-API-key rate limits across three tiers (Free, Paid, Premium). Limits are enforced as RPM (requests per minute), TPM (tokens per minute), and concurrent in-flight requests and apply uniformly across all Search Foundation services (Embeddings, Reranker, Reader, Classifier, Segmenter, DeepSearch). Tier is determined by token balance / billing status on the key.

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

It captures 9 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_minute, tokens_per_minute, and concurrent_requests.

Limit state is signalled in the retryAfter response header, and 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 4 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled and quotaExceeded.

Tagged areas include Rate Limiting, AI, Embeddings, and LLM.

Policies

Tier upgrade
Tier (Free / Paid / Premium) is determined by token balance / billing status on the API key; topping up tokens promotes the key to a higher tier with higher RPM, TPM, and concurrency.
Backoff
Honor Retry-After on 429 and back off exponentially with jitter.
Token exhaustion
When the token balance reaches zero the API returns 402 Payment Required; top up via Stripe in the API Dashboard.
Shared across services
Rate-limit and concurrency caps apply across all Jina services on the same key, not per-endpoint.
