## Public Gateway Rate Limits

The Filebase public IPFS gateway is intended to be used for testing purposes, and has a request rate limit of 100 RPM (requests per minute).

## Dedicated Gateway Limits

Filebase Dedicated Gateways do not have any request rate limits.

## Maximum File Size Limits

Filebase supports file uploads up to 1 TB in size.

Any file larger than 5GB should be uploaded using the S3-compatible API to benefit from Multipart Upload. For large IPFS folders, we also suggest [re-pinning CIDs](/ipfs-concepts/what-is-ipfs-pinning.md#uploading-a-folder-to-ipfs-using-ipfs-desktop-then-pinning-it-using-filebase) for a more reliable experience.
