# Limits

* Access restrictions are enforced **based on IP address or user account (UID)**, **not** by API Key.
* **IP-based** and **UID-based** rate limits are tracked **independently**.
* **Rate Limits:**
  * **Per IP:** Up to **12,000 weight units per minute**
  * **Per UID:** Up to **60,000 weight units per minute**
* Each endpoint will specify:
  * Whether rate limiting is based on **IP** or **UID**
  * The **weight** assigned to each request
  * A **rate limit description** is beneath the endpoint details
* If **either** rate limit is exceeded, a **`429 Too Many Requests`** error will be returned.
