WebSocket API limits
Soniox applies limits to real-time WebSocket sessions to ensure stability and fair use. Make sure your application respects these constraints and implements graceful recovery when a limit is reached.
| Limit | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Requests per minute | 100 | Exceeding this may result in rate limiting |
| Concurrent requests | 10 | Maximum number of simultaneous active WebSocket connections |
| Stream duration | 60 minutes | Each real-time session is capped at 60 minutes. To continue beyond this, open a new session. This limit is fixed and cannot be increased |
You can request higher limits (except for stream duration) in the Soniox Console.
