FAPIHub’s RemoveBG API (and related image processing endpoints) enforces two types of usage limits to ensure service stability and fair usage:

​
1. Minute Limits (Rate Limiting)

  • These control the maximum number of requests you can make per minute.
  • Purpose: Prevent abuse and maintain overall API performance.

​
2. Monthly Limits

  • These define the total number of requests allowed within a billing month.
  • Limits reset at the start of each billing cycle.
Limits are tiered based on your subscription plan. Specific values include:
PlanMonthly RequestsMinute Limit
Basic (Free)100100
Pro7,500150
Ultra52,000180
Mega255,000210
Per UsageCustom / Lifetime quotaCustom
  • Free tier accounts are limited to up to 100 images per minute.
  • Paid plans offer significantly higher limits; enterprise/custom plans may provide unlimited throughput or dedicated resources.
Exact limits for higher tiers are described as “higher” or “custom” and may vary—check your dashboard or plan details for precise quotas.

Rate Limit Exceeded Response

When you hit a rate limit (minute or monthly), the API returns:
  • HTTP Status: 429 Too Many Requests
  • Response Body example: 
    {
  "error": {
    "code": "rate_limit_exceeded",
    "message": "Too many requests. Please wait before making more requests.",
    "request_id": "req_abc123",
    "retry_after": 60
  }
}
