Different Types of API Keys and Rate Limits
This page describes Cohere API rate limits for production and evaluation keys.
Cohere offers two kinds of API keys: evaluation keys (free but limited in usage), and production keys (paid and much less limited in usage). You can create a trial or production key on the API keys page. For more details on pricing please see our pricing docs.
