QuickNode Rate-Limit Control

Overview

Treat account-plan ceilings, IP limits, and operator-configured method limits as separate controls. QuickNode exposes distinct JSON-RPC errors for per-second, per-minute, and method limits; an HTTP status alone is not sufficient diagnosis.

Prerequisites

• Endpoint ID, plan, chain, network, and affected method
• A redacted error sample with HTTP and JSON-RPC fields
• Authorized dashboard, Admin API, or qn read access

Authentication

Authenticate qn interactively with qn auth login and verify the intended account with qn auth whoami. For direct Admin API inspection, inject a separate account API key as the x-api-key header. Endpoint tokens in URLs or x-token headers authenticate RPC traffic but do not replace control-plane credentials.
