Hello, I am a student engineer who built an internal website for my university club using AppWrite.

My club currently has around 500 members, and when I recently introduced the site and asked members to access it, I encountered rate limit errors.

My site is configured as follows:

  • Authentication: Appwrite Auth + Google SSO
  • Data management: Appwrite Database
  • Site hosting: Vercel
  • Most requests are sent directly to Appwrite via the client SDK. Initial setup and batch processing are handled through the Admin SDK on Vercel.

Here is what I would like to know:

  • Are there specific criteria that trigger the rate limit? For example, is it applied per project, or per client IP address?
  • Is there a way to relax or disable the rate limit? Given the nature of our club's usage, we expect peak traffic from approximately 1,000 devices (500 members, each with a PC and a smartphone).
TL;DR
User wants to know more about peak traffic limits (rate limits) in Appwrite specifically. They are using the server SDK and encountered a "too many requests" error. Recommended to check the rate limits documentation on the Appwrite website for more information.

Thank you for your reply. I am already aware of the monthly limits per plan; however, I would like to know about the peak traffic limits (rate limits) specifically.
