- **Paid Tiers**: The limit increases to **10,000 characters per second**.

#### **Requesting a Custom API Rate Limit**

If your application requires **higher throughput**, you can request a custom limit.  
Simply reach out to our sales team [here](https://laratranslate.com/sales).

\**Free accounts have a **monthly limit of 10,000 characters**, regardless of per-second processing speed.*
