@shivdasb1996 better to do experiment by your self by placing a fake order such that the order not execute .
eg:
if ltp = 100, put your order at 98rs and check

Thank You @Mnagesh, i will check on this.
I was hoping @admin will reply on this.

I tried my self and observed

These API rate limits are Per User

by creating multiple API we cannot bypass 10orders per second limit

@shivdasb1996 I believe that the rate limit is per API key. But haven't tested it directly.
I am surprised where you will need 10 orders / second

@shivdasb1996 I also tested by creating two APPs, you are correct. The rate limit cannot be bypassed by multiple APPs.

Hi all,

Apologies for delayed response.
Rate limiting logic implemented as per User ID.
If API request per User exceeds the specified limit, the same will be blocked by our server.

Thanks & Regards,
