Credit Quotas

The API config key system allows Pacifica to provision higher rate limits to verified users, ensuring real traders have adequate resources while protecting against abuse.

These are base quotas and may be increased based on account reputation. The credit is shared across a main account and all its subaccounts. Naturally, higher fee tier grants an account higher rate limits.

WebSocket Limits

  • Max 100 concurrent connections per IP
  • Max 20 subscriptions per channel per connection
These are default limits; production deployments may set higher values, and quotas can be raised for specific accounts.
