Limits

The GraphQL service for Sui RPC is rate-limited on all available instances to keep network throughput optimized and to protect against excessive or abusive calls to the service.

Rate limits​

Queries are rate-limited at the number of attempts per minute to ensure high availability of the service to all users.

Query limits​

In addition to rate limits, queries are also validated against a number of rules on their complexity, such as the number of nodes, the depth of the query, or their payload size. These limits can be retrieved by querying the serviceConfig field. An example of how to query for some of the available limits follows:

{
  serviceConfig {
    maxQueryDepth
    maxQueryNodes
    maxOutputNodes
    maxDbQueryCost
    defaultPageSize
    maxPageSize
    requestTimeoutMs
    maxQueryPayloadSize
    maxTypeArgumentDepth
    maxTypeArgumentWidth
    maxTypeNodes
    maxMoveValueDepth
  }
}
