# Rate limits

## Overview

* Nado uses a weight-based rate-limiting system across queries and executes. We limit based on <mark style="color:red;">`IP address`</mark>, <mark style="color:red;">`Wallet address`</mark>, and a global <mark style="color:red;">`max # of orders per subaccount per market`</mark>.
* These limits equally apply to both <mark style="color:red;">`http`</mark> requests and <mark style="color:red;">`Websocket`</mark> messages.
* Limits are applied on a <mark style="color:red;">`1 minute`</mark> and <mark style="color:red;">`10 seconds`</mark> basis.

## Limits

* IP addresses have a max weight limit of <mark style="color:red;">`2400`</mark> per minute or <mark style="color:red;">`400`</mark> every 10 seconds applied only to queries.
* Wallet addresses have a max weight limit of <mark style="color:red;">`600`</mark> per minute or <mark style="color:red;">`100`</mark> every 10 seconds applied only to executes.
* Users can have up to <mark style="color:red;">`500`</mark> open orders per subaccount per market.
* Orders have the following additional limits:
  * Place orders (with spot leverage): up to <mark style="color:red;">`600`</mark> per minute or <mark style="color:red;">`100`</mark> every 10 seconds across all markets.
  * Place orders (without spot leverage): up to <mark style="color:red;">`30`</mark> per minute or <mark style="color:red;">`5`</mark> every 10 seconds across all markets. **Note**: orders without spot leverage are <mark style="color:red;">`20x`</mark> more expensive to place due to additional health checks needed.
  * Order cancellations: up to <mark style="color:red;">`600`</mark> per minute or <mark style="color:red;">`100`</mark> every 10 seconds.
