Limits (29)

Last updated Sep 17, 2026 Workers AI is now Generally Available. We've updated our rate limits to reflect this.

Note that model inferences in local mode using Wrangler will also count towards these limits. Beta models may have lower rate limits while we work on performance and scale.

Custom requirements

If you have custom requirements like private custom models or higher limits, complete the Custom Requirements Form ↗︎. Cloudflare will contact you with next steps.

Rate limits are default per task type, with some per-model limits defined as follows:

Paid models

The following limits apply per account, per model to any model that requires the Workers Paid plan — each model page states whether it does. These models are the only models that do not receive the default limit:

To receive the elevated limit, load prepaid AI Gateway credits and set the gateway's Workers AI billing setting to Unified billing. These limits are designed for typical agentic and coding workloads, where requests to frontier models can take longer to complete.
