Nuclia Rate Limits

Nuclia enforces plan-based quotas rather than published per-second request limits. The primary metered resource is the Nuclia token (consumed by processing, search, generative answers and stored indexed data), bounded by the monthly token allowance of the subscription plan. Indexed data is capped by the plan's GB / resource quota, and file size by a per-file maximum. Per-endpoint request throttling, when applied, returns HTTP 429. Specific numeric request-rate limits are not publicly reconciled in this artifact.

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

It captures 5 rate-limit definitions, measuring tokens, storage, knowledge_boxes, file_size, and requests.

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

Tagged areas include AI, RAG, Search, Knowledge Base, and Unstructured Data.

Policies

Quota-Based Limits
Usage is bounded by plan token and storage quotas; overage is billed per token.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After on 429 responses.
