# Rate Limits

> See how rate and size limits work for the Parse v2 API and Extract v2 API, including the higher limits for async jobs.

Rate limits help keep the API fast and available for everyone. They prevent any single user or accidental spike in traffic from slowing things down for others.

Limits apply per organization, so all API keys in an organization share them.

When you exceed a rate limit, the API returns an HTTP 429 response; wait before retrying and use exponential backoff.

## Parse v2 API

The following limits apply to the Parse v2 API. The rate limit depends on your pricing plan.

| Limit                     | Value                                     |
| ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| Maximum document size     | 50 MiB.                                   |
| Maximum pages per request | 100 per PDF. An image counts as one page. |
| Rate limit                | Based on the number of pages processed.   |

### Parse Jobs

[Parse Jobs v2](./parse-async) accepts much larger documents than Parse and meters usage against an hourly limit.

| Limit                     | Value                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Maximum document size     | 1 GiB for PDFs, 50 MiB for images.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| Maximum pages per request | 6,000 per PDF.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
| Rate limit                | Based on the number of pages processed, measured against your plan's hourly limit. Each [service tier](./sync-async) has its own hourly limit; `priority` jobs do not count against the `standard` tier's limit. The `priority` limit replenishes continuously; the `standard` limit resets each hour. |

To set the tier, see [Choose a Service Tier](./parse-async#choose-a-service-tier).

## Extract v2 API

The following limits apply to the Extract v2 API. The rate limit depends on your pricing plan.

| Limit              | Value                                                                              |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Maximum input size | No limit.                                                                          |
| Rate limit         | Based on the size of the input Markdown. A `markdown_url` counts as a single unit. |

### Extract Jobs

[Extract Jobs v2](./extract-async) has no input size cap, and creating a job never returns a rate-limit error. Submissions are accepted immediately (HTTP 202) and paced internally against a per-minute budget, so a burst of jobs waits in the queue instead of failing. The service tier affects turnaround time and credit consumption only. To set the tier, see [Choose a Service Tier](./extract-async#choose-a-service-tier).
