Response

Perps account API tier limits retrieved successfully

usage_tier
string
required

User's API usage tier.

read
object
required

Token-bucket budget for one rate-limit bucket. Each request deducts tokens equal to its endpoint cost; the bucket refills at refill_rate tokens per second up to bucket_capacity. A request is allowed if the bucket holds enough tokens to cover its cost; otherwise the request is rejected with HTTP 429.

write
object
required

Token-bucket budget for one rate-limit bucket. Each request deducts tokens equal to its endpoint cost; the bucket refills at refill_rate tokens per second up to bucket_capacity. A request is allowed if the bucket holds enough tokens to cover its cost; otherwise the request is rejected with HTTP 429.

grants
object[]
required

The caller's active API usage level grants across exchange lanes, where each grant applies to its exchange_instance and usage_tier reflects the effective tier for the lane reported by this endpoint.
