Hi there, thanks for the link. After reading through it, I still can't figure out what's the scope for the rate limiter tho

#

Also it mentions about the concurrent rate limit but it doesn't mention what the limit is set it be

what's the scope for the rate limiter tho
ah I think you're right, I was under the impression it is clearly documented but it is hinted at, not clearly mentioned

For most APIs, Stripe allows up to 100 read operations per second and 100 write operations per second in live mode, and 25 operations per second for each in test mode.

that is per account (assuming you don't use Connect), so your account has a 100 Write and 100 Read per second rate limit, in live mode.

Is it per account or per project?
not sure what "per project" means here but it is definitely not per project, it is account wide, so considering the publishable and secret keys for a Stripe acct

#

concurrent limiter is 100 requests as well, so max 100 requests can be in flight concurrently

Thank you so much for the clarification.
I probably misused the terminologies here.

#

Here's a screenshot of the "project" I was referring to

#

I assume those are actually different accounts?

#

yes those look like 2 separate Stripe accounts
