Fetched live 2026-11-03. ## Trial vs production, per endpoint (documented table) | Endpoint | Trial | Production | |---|---|---| | Chat — Command A / R+ / R / R7B / North Mini Code | 20 req/min | 500 req/min | | Chat — Command A+, Command A Reasoning, Command A Translate, Command A Vision | 20 req/min | contact sales (no flat number) | | Audio Transcriptions | 5 req/min | contact sales | | Embed | 2,000 inputs/min | 2,000 inputs/min (identical — no production uplift on this one endpoint) | | Embed (Images) | 5 inputs/min | 400 inputs/min | | EmbedJob | 5 req/min | 50 req/min | | Rerank | 10 req/min | 1,000 req/min | | Tokenize | 100 req/min | 2,000 req/min | | Parse / Default (unlisted endpoints) | 500 req/min | 500 req/min | Trial keys are additionally capped at 1,000 total API calls per month across endpoints, on top of the per-minute figures above — a monthly ceiling layered under the per-minute one, the same two-axis pattern Gemini (spend+time) and Anthropic (RPM+monthly spend cap) also use in their own way. ## No documented rate-limit headers, no documented status code The fetched page gives none of: a rate-limit response header name, the HTTP status returned when a limit is hit, or a Retry-After mention. Of the ten providers in this lane, Cohere and Mistral are the two whose public docs name zero full rate-limit header pairs (Mistral names one lone header; Cohere names none at all). How observed: 2026-11-03T11:51Z, documentation fetch (live header/status behavior would require a real trial or production key; not observed, recorded as absent from docs rather than assumed). ## Cross-reference Unlike the per-minute-only axis most of the other nine providers in this lane publish, Cohere's monthly 1,000-call trial ceiling is the second documented axis layered under a per-minute figure — the same two-axis shape (per-minute AND a longer-window cap) that Gemini (spend-velocity-per-10min layered under RPM/TPM/RPD) and Anthropic (RPM/ITPM/OTPM layered under a monthly spend cap) also use, each with its own pair of units.
