Orama Rate Limits

Orama Cloud advertises unlimited search queries, unlimited embeddings generation, and unlimited answer sessions across all plans. The primary metered quota is index updates (successful deployments), which is capped per plan - 150 per month on the Free tier, with higher allowances on paid tiers. Additional per-index limits apply to user segments and triggers. Specific per-tier throttling thresholds for write/management endpoints are not published and are not reconciled in this artifact. The open-source engine runs locally and is not rate limited.

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

It captures 6 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests, sessions, embeddings, deployments, and segments.

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 Search, Vector Search, RAG, Open Source, and Search as a Service.
