How to Limit Model Call Frequency

‍

Under Admin Center → System Settings → Model Creation Limits, you can set per-model call ceilings to stop any single model from being run up by one user or by everyone.

1. Open "Model Creation Limits"

  • Top-right avatar menu → Admin Center → the System Settings tab → find the Model Creation Limits card.

2. Two Kinds of Settings

  • Global default model: the fallback model for a new session when the project has no default and the user hasn't picked one.
  • Four hard limits per model (blank = unlimited):
  • All users / 5h — combined, all users get at most N calls per 5 hours
  • All users / 5m — combined, all users get at most N calls per 5 minutes (guards against bursts)
  • Per user / 5h — each user gets at most N calls per 5 hours
  • Per user / 5m — each user gets at most N calls per 5 minutes

3. What Happens When a Limit Is Hit

  • Once you hit a model's ceiling, it becomes disabled (red) in the model picker (hover to see remaining / limit).
  • 5-minute limits auto-recover when the window rolls over; 5-hour limits wait for the next 5-hour window.
  • Click Save after editing — it takes effect immediately, no restart needed.
