AI rate limit

[warm crest]

Hi! Hope you’re doing well.

I wanted to ask if there’s any way to increase or remove the AI rate limit on my account/API.
I use it quite heavily, and sometimes I end up getting temporarily blocked because of the request limits.

I’d like to know if you offer any kind of upgrade, manual adjustment, specific plan, or configuration that could help with this.

Thank you!

which limits? openrouter doesn't impose any limits on paid models themselves

I added the balance, but it’s not working. This error is showing up:

those errors are upstream and openrouter can't do anything about them unfortunately, try using the paid edition?

I’m already using the paid version. I added $20 to my balance, and my developer is using the paid plan as well.

actually, according to your error, your code relies on the model google/gemma-4-31b-it:free, which is a free model with free limits
