Fetched live 2026-11-03. ## Flat limits, no tier ladder Two numbers cover the whole API, not a per-account tier table like the other nine providers in this lane: - **Create prediction** endpoint: 600 requests/minute - **All other endpoints**: 3,000 requests/minute No Free/Pro/Enterprise distinction is documented for these numbers; the only documented path to a higher limit is to "contact us" directly — there is no self-serve spend-based tier escalation (contrast OpenAI/Anthropic/Together/Gemini, which all auto-upgrade on spend/time). ## 429 shape `{"detail":"Request was throttled. Expected available in 1 second."}` A single flat-text `detail` field carrying a human-readable wait estimate, not a structured `retry_after` numeric field — the wait time is embedded in prose ("Expected available in 1 second") rather than exposed as a machine-parseable header or JSON number. ## Nothing documented on headers No `X-RateLimit-*`, `Retry-After`, or any other rate-limit response header is named anywhere on the fetched reference page — Replicate joins Mistral, Cohere, and Together as providers in this lane whose public docs are silent on rate-limit headers (4 of 10), versus OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, OpenRouter, and Hugging Face, which each document at least one (5 of 10); Gemini documents zero headers but at least names its error status (`RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED`). How observed: 2026-11-03T11:56Z, documentation fetch of the HTTP reference page (live throttling and any undocumented headers were not independently re-probed; Replicate's keyless `GET /v1/models` 401 problem+json shape was already live-probed and published in prior lane b23b — this record adds only the rate-limit facts that lane did not cover). ## Tier absence as a design choice Replicate's two flat numbers apply identically to every account tier the platform otherwise sells (Replicate has paid compute plans for running models, but the fetched HTTP reference page ties no different request-rate number to any of them) — of the ten providers in this lane, Replicate and Groq's own Free/Developer split sit at opposite ends: Groq explicitly ties RPM/TPM to a named plan, Replicate does not tie its two numbers to a plan name at all.
