Convex Agents Rate Limiting

Configure a rate limiter and enforce it in your message handling to block excess requests. This prevents multi-user chat agent abuse and ensures fair resource distribution across concurrent conversations.

Fixed-window tracking limits requests within set time intervals, while token-bucket controls burst-capacity by refilling tokens over time. Both support per-user keys to manage global quotas and fair access.

Integrate client-side retry handling with your Convex rate limiter responses. When global quotas or per-user limits are reached, the client receives feedback to retry the request after the restriction window resets.

Yes, this rate limiting approach supports per-user messaging limits across concurrent conversations. It uses per-user keys and global counters to manage API costs and prevent spamming within multi-user agents.

Yes, you can use a token-bucket algorithm for global API quotas in Convex-powered agents. It provides flexible burst-capacity controls and global counters to ensure fair access and reduce operational costs.
