Rate limits

Signed-in requests to the Fere API are limited per account, not per IP address. A signed-in request is any call that sends Authorization: Bearer ...: an AgentDoor agt_ token, an MCP or ChatGPT login, or a web app session. Every token that belongs to the same Fere account shares one budget. People on the same office or mobile network do not use up each other’s budget.


Default limit	600 requests per minute per account
Window	Each clock minute, starting at second 0
Counted	Every signed-in HTTP request, whatever its result. An MCP tool call counts as the API requests it makes. A streamed response counts once.
Not counted	Websocket connections and their messages

The default can change. When you are limited, Retry-After tells you how long to wait. Trust that number over the table. Tool calls made from inside a Fere code sandbox have their own budget, so they do not use up the account’s budget.

`rate_limited`: wait, then continue

HTTP 429. The response includes Retry-After, a whole number of seconds (at least 1) until the next window starts.

{
  "detail": {
    "error": {
      "code": "rate_limited",
      "message": "Too many requests. Retry after 17 seconds.",
      "details": { "limit_per_minute": 600 }
    }
  }
}

The 429 response also carries these headers. Successful responses do not include them.

Header	Meaning
`Retry-After`	Seconds to wait before the next request
`RateLimit-Limit`	Requests allowed per minute for this account
`RateLimit-Remaining`	Requests left in this window (`0` on a 429)
`RateLimit-Reset`	Seconds until the window resets

What to do:

Wait at least Retry-After seconds, then send the same request again. Retry once, not in a tight loop.
Do not register a new AgentDoor key or sign in again to get a new budget. Every token for the account shares the same budget.
If you poll prices, positions or PnL, poll less often.

The AgentDoor sign-up and token routes (/v1/auth/register, /v1/auth/verify and /v1/auth/token) have their own limit, per client IP, because no account exists yet. See Agent API authentication.
