Too Many Requests Error When Accessing Hugging Face API Without Authentication

Hello,

We use Hugging Face models in our tests and encountered the following error when trying to access https://huggingface.co/api/models/HuggingFaceTB:

Too many requests for URL: https://huggingface.co/api/models/HuggingFaceTB

We do not use an authentication token due to security reasons.

Our questions:

  1. What are the request rate limits for non-authenticated users?
  2. Is there a way to check our current rate limits or remaining quota?
  3. Are there alternative solutions to avoid hitting these limits without using authentication?

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Mikhail

Well, limits often change…
