Xai Rate Limits

xAI enforces per-team rate limits on the synchronous API (requests per minute and tokens per minute) that vary by model and account tier. The Batch API does not count toward synchronous rate limits. Specific per-model limits are not reconciled in this artifact; consult the xAI Console for the active limits on your team.

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

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests and tokens.

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

Tagged areas include AI, LLM, Foundation Models, Grok, and Generative AI.

Tiered Limits
Higher usage tiers and enterprise agreements unlock higher per-minute limits.
