Clarification on 3000 Orders Per Day Limit

zhkas · February 24

Hi,

As per the documentation:

A single user/API key will not be able to place more than 3000 orders per day. This restriction is across all segments and varieties.

I need clarification on what exactly counts toward the 3000 orders per day limit:

Does it count every order API request that is sent?
Or does it count only successfully placed orders?
Do rejected orders (e.g., due to margin issues, RMS rejection, validation errors, etc.) also count toward this limit?
If an order is modified or cancelled, does that count separately?

Could you please clarify how the limit is calculated?

Thanks.

We have increased the orders per day limit from 3000 to 5000 is applicable per user and is calculated based on the total number of order requests sent to the order placement endpoint, which includes successful, cancelled, and rejected orders. Order placement calls will only count as individual order calls; Order modifications are permitted up to 25 times. Order modification and cancellation API calls are counted toward the same order rate limits of 10 requests/second and 400 requests/minute. Please check this support article for more details.
