A 50RPM API key, for example, will allow 50 requests to be made in 1 minute. In order to more evenly distribute traffic, 50 requests cannot be simultaneously sent nor sent over a small increment of time, rather they must be evenly distributed across the course of 1 minute. The actual policies behind the rate limits are:
- 10RPM: 1 request per 6 seconds
- 50RPM: 5 requests per 6 seconds
- 100RPM: 5 requests per 3 seconds
- 500RPM: 25 requests per 3 seconds
