title: TTS Rate Limiting
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
This page explains OpenReader's TTS character rate limiting controls.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
- TTS rate limiting is disabled by default.
|
|
- To enable it, set `TTS_ENABLE_RATE_LIMIT=true`.
|
|
- Limits are enforced per day in UTC.
|
|
- Enforcement applies only when auth is enabled.
|
|
|
|
## How enforcement works
|
|
|
|
When enabled, OpenReader enforces:
|
|
|
|
- Per-user daily character limits.
|
|
- IP backstop daily character limits.
|
|
- Anonymous device backstop tracking (cookie-based) to reduce limit resets.
|
|
|
|
If a request exceeds the active limit, the TTS API returns `429` with reset metadata for the next UTC day.
|
|
|
|
## Required auth behavior
|
|
|
|
- Auth must be enabled (`BASE_URL` + `AUTH_SECRET`) for TTS char limits to apply.
|
|
- If auth is disabled, TTS character limits are effectively unlimited.
|
|
- `DISABLE_AUTH_RATE_LIMIT` only affects Better Auth's own request throttling.
|
|
- `DISABLE_AUTH_RATE_LIMIT` does not disable TTS character limits.
|
|
|
|
## Environment variables
|
|
|
|
