Vdocipher Rate Limits

VdoCipher's primary consumption controls are the prepaid annual bandwidth and storage bundles rather than per-second request throttles; usage is capped when the bandwidth credit is exhausted or the one-year validity ends. The server API (upload credentials, videos, folders, OTP, watermark) does not publish explicit per-account requests-per-second limits in the public documentation. Standard fair-use throttling and abuse protection apply, and clients should implement retry-with-backoff on transient errors. OTP generation is expected to be performed server-side per playback session.

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

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring gigabytes, days, and requests.

The profile also includes 3 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include Video, Secure Video Hosting, DRM, Streaming, and Rate Limiting.

Policies

Prepaid Credit Ceiling
Bandwidth and storage bundles act as the effective usage ceiling; top up before exhaustion.
Server-Side OTP
OTP/playbackInfo must be generated on a trusted back end, once per authorized playback session.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement retry with exponential backoff and honor Retry-After on 429/5xx responses.
