Pollinations Limits

For chat.pollinations.ai (and the underlying API), the rate limits depend on how you're using it:

Anonymous / Free Tier (No Login)

  • Text/Chat: ~1 request every 3 seconds (per IP).
  • Images: ~1 request every 5 seconds (per IP).

Logged In (Pollen System)

  • Users get a daily free Pollen allowance based on their tier.
  • Publishable Keys (pk_): Rate limited to prevent abuse (e.g., ~1 pollen/hour per IP).
  • Secret Keys (sk_): No rate limits (requests run as fast as you can pay for them with Pollen).

If you're hitting limits on the chat site:

  1. Slow down slightly (wait 3-5s between messages).
  2. Log in at enter.pollinations.ai to use your daily free credits.
  3. If you need massive throughput, use an API key (sk_) with purchased credits.
