Rate limits are dynamically calculated based on the number of accounts (accounts_count) linked to your API key. Each endpoint enforces limits at three levels:
- Per second
- Per minute
- Per hour
The applied limit is always the minimum between the per-account calculation and a global cap:
Per second: min(1 × accounts_count, global cap)
Per minute: min(2 × accounts_count, global cap)
Per hour: min(30 × accounts_count, global cap)

Example
If you manage 3 accounts:
- Per second:
min(3, 10) = 3 req/sec - Per minute:
min(6, 60) = 6 req/min - Per hour:
min(90, 1800) = 90 req/hour
If you manage 20 accounts:
- Per second:
min(20, 10) = 10 req/sec (capped) - Per minute:
min(40, 60) = 40 req/min - Per hour:
min(600, 1800) = 600 req/hour
