# Limits and Quotas

Rate limits, GPU quotas, and quota increase guidance for Parasail production workloads.

Parasail applies request rate limits and GPU quotas to protect shared capacity and help customers avoid unexpected usage.

## Rate limits

| Product class     |                      RPM | Token limit               |
| ----------------- | -----------------------: | ------------------------- |
| Serverless - Free |                        5 | Not currently enforced    |
| Serverless - User |                      500 | Not currently enforced    |
| Elastic Endpoints | Provisioned per endpoint | Set by endpoint agreement |
| Enterprise        |                Unlimited | Not currently enforced    |

Contact Parasail if your workload needs higher request limits.

For Elastic Endpoints, [contact sales](https://www.parasail.io/contact) to confirm model eligibility and set up your endpoint. After setup, use your endpoint's **Current capacity**, **Provisioned capacity**, and **Request activity** to plan traffic rather than assuming product-wide limits. See [Elastic Endpoints capacity](/parasail-docs/products/capacity.md#how-capacity-works).

## GPU quota

New customer organizations start with a quota of 4 GPUs for Dedicated Instances. The quota applies collectively across GPU types.

Examples:

* If a Dedicated deployment can auto-scale from 1 to 6 GPUs and the deployment already uses 4 GPUs, the quota prevents scaling to a fifth GPU.

If the deployment page shows `Insufficient quota`, the organization has reached its GPU quota.

## Request a quota increase

Use the [Quota Increase Form](https://parasail.clickup.com/forms/9011827181/f/8cjb4fd-5671/T54OWYUTZAAJIVOGIC) to request more GPU capacity. Quota increases up to 8 GPUs are available without additional justification. Requests for more than 8 GPUs require a short explanation of the workload.
