Routeway implements intelligent rate limiting. If you use free model, consider using paid model.
You can use any model listed at our models library, but keep in mind that there are two types of models: free and paid (PAYG).
  • Free models are available to everyone, but they have their own rate limits. If you hit the limit, you’ll need to wait before making more requests. You can learn more about rate limits here.
  • Paid models require a positive balance on your account. If your balance is $0, you won’t be able to use paid models until you add funds. For more information about how our billing system works, see this page.
Make sure to check the model type and your account balance before trying to use a model.
