description: >-
  Targon meters access to its OpenAI-compatible inference API per API key.
  Because inference is served by a decentralized marketplace of miners on
  Bittensor Subnet 4, effective throughput depends on available miner capacity
  for a given model in addition to any account-level request/token limits.
  Specific per-key or per-model limit values are not published in a single
  reference and are not reconciled in this artifact.
notes: >-
  Verify current per-key limits, any RPM/TPM caps, and model-specific capacity
  in the Targon console during reconciliation. Throughput on a decentralized
  network can vary with the number of miners serving a model.

responseCodes:
  throttled: 429
limits:
- name: Requests Per Minute (RPM)
  scope: account
  metric: requests
  limit: see provider documentation
  notes: Per-key request rate; value not published, varies by account.
- name: Tokens Per Minute (TPM)
  scope: account
  metric: tokens
  limit: see provider documentation
  notes: Per-key token rate; value not published, varies by account and model.
- name: Model Capacity
  scope: network
  metric: throughput
  limit: depends on active miners
  notes: Effective throughput depends on miner capacity serving a given model on Subnet 4.
policies:
- name: Decentralized Capacity
  description: Throughput scales with the number of miners serving a model; capacity is market-driven rather than fixed by a single vendor.
- name: Backoff Strategy
  description: Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After on 429 responses.
