Vocode Rate Limits

The hosted Vocode API authenticates with a Bearer API key and meters usage by monthly call minutes against a per-account plan limit (monthly_usage_limit_minutes), surfaced via GET /v1/usage. List endpoints are paginated (page / size). Vocode does not publish explicit per-endpoint request-per-minute throttles; the practical limiting factor on the hosted API is concurrent calls and the monthly call-minute allotment for the account plan. The open-source vocode-core library has no Vocode-imposed rate limits - it is bound only by the third-party STT / LLM / TTS / telephony providers you configure. Specific values are not reconciled in this artifact.

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

It captures 5 rate-limit definitions, measuring minutes, concurrent_calls, requests, and items.

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

Tagged areas include Voice AI, Voice Agents, Telephony, Conversational AI, and Phone Calls.

Policies

Plan-Based Quotas
Call-minute allotments and concurrency scale with the account plan tier (free, developer, enterprise, unlimited).
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter on 429 responses and honor any Retry-After header.
