Smolagents Rate Limits
smolagents itself is a client-side library with no server-enforced rate limits. Rate limits apply when smolagents agents make calls to Hugging Face Hub APIs and Inference Providers. The Hub enforces rate limits in fixed 5-minute windows using the IETF draft RateLimit HTTP header fields specification. Limits vary by account tier (Anonymous, Free, PRO, Team, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus).
Smolagents Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for smolagents on the APIs.io network, in the API Commons Rate Limits shape.
It captures 21 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests.
Limit state is signalled in the retryAfter, retryAfterHeader, rateLimitHeader, and rateLimitPolicyHeader response headers, 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 response codes documented for throttled, throttledDescription, and success.
Tagged areas include AI Agents, Multi-Agent, Python, Code Generation, and LLM.
