​
Rate limits

deepface.dev applies rate limiting and queue controls at the gateway.

​
Enforcement points

  • Per-account requests per minute
  • Maximum inflight compute requests
  • Queue depth
  • Queue timeout

​
Retry behavior

429 rate_limited responses include:
  • Retry-After
  • RateLimit-Limit
  • RateLimit-Remaining
  • RateLimit-Reset
503 queue_full and 503 queue_timeout indicate temporary capacity pressure. Treat them as retryable with backoff unless your own SLA policy says otherwise.

​
Capacity planning

If you need higher sustained throughput, dedicated queue capacity, or custom limits, contact the deepface.dev team before scaling traffic abruptly.
