# tpm_rate_limit_exceeded

> Tokens-per-minute bucket is exhausted for this team.

**Code**: `tpm_rate_limit_exceeded`
**HTTP status**: `429`
**Type**: `rate_limit`

## When it fires

Chat completions and embeddings count against a tokens-per-minute (TPM) bucket in addition to the requests-per-minute (RPM) bucket. This code returns when the TPM bucket is dry. The `X-RateLimit-TPM-Limit` / `X-RateLimit-TPM-Remaining` / `X-RateLimit-TPM-Reset` headers report the bucket state on every response.

## How to recover

Sleep for the `Retry-After` seconds reported on the response, then retry. For sustained throughput needs above the default tier, contact [support@aurous-labs.com](mailto:support@aurous-labs.com). See [Rate limits](/rate-limits) for the full bucket model.
