⚡ Rate Limits & Response Times

Rate Limits & gRPC plugin

InstantNodes enforces rate limits to ensure fair resource allocation and network stability. The limits vary by plan:
🔸 Begginer+ → 10RPS for $0.99
🔸 HybridN225 → 225RPS for $499
🔺 HybridN425 → 425RPS for $999
🏆 HybridN1500 → 1500RPS + gRPC for $2499

The gRPC STONNER plugin is available on all plans starting from HybridN225 for an additional $500 and is included for free in the HybridN1500 plan.

⏳ Exceeding the limit? Your requests may be throttled or return a 429 Too Many Requests error. To handle this, implement Exponential Backoff—if you receive a 429 error, wait before retrying and gradually increase the wait time with each attempt. 🚀

Response Times

Latency depends on network load and your region:

🏎 Typical response times: 2-200ms
⚠️ Peak load scenarios: 200-500ms
🌍 Optimized regions: Europe / United States.

💡 Pro Tip: Use persistent connections (e.g., HTTP Keep-Alive, WebSockets) to reduce latency.
