5. Limitations

Notes
To know more about how to check the monthly usage of OpenAI API, click here.
  1. OpenAI API Rate limits: Rate limits are restrictions that OpenAI imposes on the number of times a user or client can access their services within a specified period of time and vary based on their usage tier and the model consumed. 
    1. Learn more about the rate limit for your account that contains the API key used for this integration
    2. Learn more about how rate limits work in OpenAI
  2. Google (Gemini) API rate limits: Google also imposes rate limits, especially strict on the free tier of the Gemini API. Free Tier Limits (Gemini 2.0 Flash):
    1. 15 requests per minute (RPM)
    2. 200 requests per day (RPD)
    3. 1,000,000 tokens per minute (TPM)
    4. Learn more about how rate limits work in Google
    Note: Attempting to create multiple apps at once can result in rate limit errors. For instance, if you're creating multiple apps in quick succession, you may exceed the 15 RPM limit and cause an error.
  3. Anthropic API Rate limits: Anthropic defaults users to a paid Tier 1 plan, which generally allows generous usage. However, rate limits still apply and are limited to 50 requests per minute (RPM). Learn more about how rate limits work in Anthropic
  4. NotesNote: While generous, these limits can still impact high-frequency operations, especially in rapid app creation scenarios.
