Rate limits for Websocket trading

[alokym86]

Hi! Looks like there is no built-in support for rate limiting in the case of WebSocket spot trading. Here is an axample of the exchange response if I sent Place/Amend requests more often than 10/1s.

{"header":{"response_time":"1728899982230","status":"429","channel":"spot.order_amend","event":"api","client_id":"client_id","conn_id":"5c87dfa92caf9951","trace_id":"83169a6f64116902cb7a6c260fa868be"},"data":{"errs":{"label":"TOO_MANY_REQUESTS","message":"Request Rate limit Exceeded"}},"request_id":"161"}

• client_id was changed by me, other field as I got in response.

Hi, I can't find any info on this rate limit for the client websocket. Do you know where the 10/1s rule is defined?

If this is a specific rate limit for order placement/editing I also think it should not be part of the client rate limiting as you don't want to delay these calls, and it's better to let the server decide whether it's within or outside the limit.

I can't find any documentation about WebSocket rate limits. The gateio AI-support-bot says there are no limits, the only limit is a limit of 300 connections at a time. But it looks like the placing/amending order rules for websocket is the same as for REST https://www.gate.io/docs/developers/apiv4/en/#trade-ratio-rate-limiting.
