Sora 2 API “Too many requests” error

Hi @dwight_bauer, yeah, that does feel rough especially if you already slowed things down and still got limited again.

What’s likely happening is limits aren’t just about speed. Rate limits are measured in five ways: RPM (requests per minute), RPD (requests per day), TPM (tokens per minute), TPD (tokens per day), and IPM (images per minute). Rate limits can be hit across any of the options depending on what occurs first.

Also, these limits apply at the org or project level, not per user, so other activity can count toward it without being obvious. And the timeout isn’t always 24 hours, it depends which limit you hit.

If you can, check your limits page and consider adding exponential backoff so retries don’t stack into the limit. If it keeps happening, worth flagging so they can confirm exactly which cap you’re hitting.
