Bitget has activated an upgraded institutional API rate-limit structure today, boosting the maximum single-account ceiling to 600 requests per second for top-tier market makers and professional traders operating unified trading accounts. The exchange introduced a separate aggregate cap of 120,000 RPS across linked master and sub-accounts, applying individually to spot and futures trading under the unified account framework.
The 600 RPS maximum is reserved exclusively for MM1 and PRO6 tier clients, with lower tiers receiving proportionally reduced limits. Classic account structures remain unchanged. Institutions must manually configure rate quotas per user ID according to trading strategy requirements, ensuring combined sub-account allocations stay within aggregate tier caps. Sub-accounts created after system initialization default to just 10 RPS unless manually adjusted, prompting Bitget to urge eligible clients to complete configurations immediately to avoid throttling.
Higher API limits allow market makers to submit, cancel, and manage orders across multiple instruments without hitting throttling barriers, reducing the operational need to fragment activity across multiple accounts.
FXnCO Insight
Eligible institutional traders should verify tier status and configure per-UID rate allocations immediately to avoid defaulting to restrictive 10 RPS limits that could disrupt automated execution workflows.
