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:
30-Day Futures Trading Volume/USDT | Order Limit/min | IP Limit/min | |||
Per Account Order Limit | Per User Order Limit | Enhanced Per User Order Limit | Per IP | Per User | |
≥ 600,000,000 | 2,000 | 60,000 | 75,000 | 5,000 | 50,000 |
≥ 1,000,000,000 | 3,000 | 80,000 | 100,000 | 6,000 | 60,000 |
≥ 2,500,000,000 | 4,000 | 100,000 | 125,000 | 8,000 | 80,000 |
≥ 5,000,000,000 | 5,000 | 150,000 | 200,000 | 10,000 | 100,000 |
≥ 12,500,000,000 | 6,000 | 200,000 | 250,000 | 12,000 | 120,000 |
≥ 25,000,000,000 | 7,000 | 250,000 | 300,000 | 15,000 | 150,000 |
*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.
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 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 rate limit on top of the base limit, as shown in the table below.
Bracket | Volume Share | And/Or | 30-Day Trading Volume (USDT) | Per Account Order Limit/bps | Per User Order Limit/bps |
- | < 0.5% | Or | < 25,000,000,000 | 0 | |
A | 0.5% - 1% | And | ≥ 25,000,000,000 | 50 | 1,000 |
B | 1% - 2% | 30 | 750 | ||
C | 2% - 10% | 5 | 250 | ||
D | >10% | 0 |
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 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 + 800bps * 5 bps/min + 200bps * 0 = 15,000/min
Per user order limit = 300,000/min + (100 - 80) basis points * 1,000/min + 100 basis points * 750/min + 800 basis points * 250/min + 200 basis points * 0 = 615,000/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.
