Troubleshooting: RPC Rate Limit Exceeded on the Free Plan

Description

Problem

Solution

Steps to Resolve:

1. Check Your Free Plan Limits:

The Free Plan has a hard limit of 10 requests per second (req/s) for RPC usage. If you exceed this limit, you will receive the rate limit notification. This is a built-in restriction for accounts without a verified payment method.

2. Upgrade to a Paid Plan:

If you need a higher rate limit, consider upgrading to the Starter Plan, which offers at least 25 req/s. Any additional usage will be subject to usage-based charges. You can view and upgrade your plan here: thirdweb Pricing.

3. Monitor RPC Requests:

If you want to track your RPC requests, currently, there isn’t an in-dashboard visual graph for monitoring these requests. You can monitor your usage by checking the logs or via the API, or by upgrading to a paid plan for better access and support.

4. Verify Your Payment Information:

If you're on the Free Plan, ensure you are aware of the limitations that come with it. For more detailed usage insights, verifying your payment method may open up more monitoring and higher usage limits.

Additional Tips

• Consider Implementing Retry Logic: If you are hitting the 10 req/s limit, consider implementing retries with a backoff strategy in your code.

• Review Your Code: Ensure that your code or application is not inadvertently making excessive API calls. This can be done by optimizing the requests made within a short time frame.
