# Residential Proxy Request Rate Limits

To maintain system stability and ensure reliable performance for all users, GB-based residential proxies have a request rate limit of approximately **10,000–12,000 requests per second per user**.

If this limit is exceeded, requests above the allowed rate will be rejected. This limit helps prevent a single user from placing excessive load on the system and affecting service availability for other users.

> **Note:** Sending requests at very high speeds may result in a higher failure rate if the request rate limit is exceeded.

If a high failure rate occurs while sending requests at very high speeds, please reduce the request rate and try again. If the issue persists, contact the support team for assistance.
