Rate Limit

IP Limit

HTTP IP limit

You are allowed to send 600 requests within a 5-second window per IP by default. This limit applies to all traffic directed to api.bybit.com, api.bybick.com, and local site hostnames such as api.bybit.kz. If you encounter the error "403, access too frequent", it indicates that your IP has exceeded the allowed request frequency. In this case, you should terminate all HTTP sessions and wait for at least 10 minutes. The ban will be lifted automatically.

We do not recommend running your application at the very edge of these limits in case abnormal network activity results in an unexpected violation.
