Binance Futures provides rate limit adjustment flexibility via a volume-based tier system. The default rate limit per IP is 2,400/min, and the default order limit per account/sub-account is 1,200/min.
Higher VIP-tier users and users with the equivalent Futures trading volume are entitled to a higher rate limit adjustment as detailed below:

*For order limit, there is an additional 10-second limit, default at 300/10s. Any adjusted order limit will be ⅓ of the minute limit. e.g., 3,000/min carries a 1,000/10s order limit.
Special rate limit enhancement for USDC-Margined contracts:
  • Users with > 0.5% monthly volume share in the USDC market: An additional USDⓈ-M rate limit of 20,000 requests per minute.
  • Users with > 1% monthly volume share in the USDC market: An additional USDⓈ-M rate limit of 30,000 requests per minute.
  • Users with > 2% monthly volume share in the USDC market: An additional USDⓈ-M rate limit of 40,000 requests per minute.
  • The maximum additional rate limit reward is capped at 40,000 requests per minute.
Please note:
  • The 30-day Futures trading volume refers to the total trading volume from both USDⓈ-Margined Futures and COIN-Margined Futures markets.
  • Sub-accounts with default rate limit will be included in the order rate limit.
    • For example, User A has a 30-day Futures trading volume of 600,000,000 USDT. They have enabled Futures accounts for 34 sub-accounts. 10 of the 34 sub-accounts have a default order limit of 1,200/min, while 24 have a limit of 2,000/min. Therefore, User A’s total order rate limit is 60,000/min, meaning they’ve reached their maximum order rate limit and cannot increase the order limit for any sub-account. However, User A might be able to reduce their total rate limit by closing some of their unused sub-accounts. For more details, please refer to the Binance Sub-Account Functions and Frequently Asked Questions.
  • Enhanced per user IP and order limit: If a user’s last 30-day order fill ratio exceeds 1%, they will be granted an enhanced per-user order limit. The last 30-day fill ratio is the total number of executed orders divided by the number of order counts over the past 30 days
  • VIP 1 and above users can view their account details and requests for adjustments via the VIP Portal directly. Please contact their account manager if that's not possible.
  • The rate limit requirement will not be applied to link accounts.
Additionally, users with more than 25,000,000,000 USDT and 0.5% exchange volume share among the combined USDⓈ-Margined Futures and COIN-Margined Futures markets in the last 30 days are entitled to an additional total IP and order rate limit on top of the base limit, as shown in the table below.

For example, in a given market, 25 billion USDT represents 0.8% of the exchange volume. User A's trading volume in the last 30 days (375 billion USDT) accounts for 12% of the exchange volume in the combined USDⓈ-Margined Futures and COIN-Margined Futures markets. User A’s last 30-day order fill ratio is above 1%. Hence, the IP and order limit for user A will be calculated as follows:
  • Per account order limit = 7,000/min + (100 - 80) bps * 50/bps/min + 100 bps * 30/bps/min + 800 bps * 5 bps/min + 200 bps * 0 = 15,000/min
  • Per user order limit = 300,000/min + (100 - 80) basis points * 1,000/min + 100 bps * 750/min + 800 bps * 250/min + 200 bps * 0 = 615,000/min
  • Per IP limit = 15,000/min + (100 - 80) bps * 50/bps/min + 100 bps * 30/bps/min + 800 bps * 5 bps/min + 200 bps * 0 = 23,000/min
  • Per user IP limit = 250,000/min + (100 - 80) bps * 1,000/min + 100 bps * 750/min + 800 bps * 250/min + 200 bps * 0 = 565,000/min
Disclaimer: Binance reserves the right to revert or adjust the rate limit to an appropriate level if the user's current VIP level and/or Futures trading volume is not eligible for the maximum allowed rate limit. Binance also reserves the right to disable Futures trading or lower the default limit of a user.
