Twelvelabs Rate Limits

TwelveLabs enforces per-account rate limits expressed as requests per minute on the API endpoints, plus concurrency limits on long-running indexing and embedding tasks (e.g. 25 concurrent indexing tasks on the Developer plan) and per-index volume caps (up to 10,000 hours and 100,000 videos per index). Free-plan accounts are additionally capped at 10 hours of indexing and 600 cumulative processing minutes with 90-day index retention. Enterprise limits are custom and scale with monthly spend. Specific per-endpoint RPM values are not reconciled in this artifact.

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

It captures 6 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests, tasks, hours, videos, and days.

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

Tagged areas include AI, Video Understanding, Multimodal, Search, and Embeddings.

Policies

Tiered Limits
Limits raise as accounts move from Free to Developer (pay-as-you-go) and to Enterprise agreements with custom rate limits scaled to monthly spend.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter, honor Retry-After on 429 responses, and poll task status rather than busy-waiting.
