### Rate limits

In order to maximize the reliability of the Public Hermes API, a request rate limit is enforced.
All endpoints limits are set at 30 requests every 10 seconds per IP address.
Clients issuing request above the limit will receive a 429 (Too Many Requests) response for the subsequent 60-second period.

For production deployments, developers integrating with Pyth Network are **strongly encouraged** to use Node Providers
for maximum resilience and decentralization. Moreover, Hermes is designed to be self-hosted, so developers can run their own
instance of Hermes to fetch Pyth price updates. Please note it is not recommended to use the public endpoint for production as it has rate limits.
