With effective caching, you can substantially increase your actual throughput without raising your rate limits. Monitor your cache hit rate on the Usage page to tune your caching strategy.  OTPM rate limits are evaluated in real time as output tokens are produced, counting only the actual tokens generated. The `max_tokens` parameter does not factor into OTPM rate limit calculations, so there is no rate limit downside to setting a higher `max_tokens` value.@@ -150,7 +141,5 @@ In addition to providing token and request charts, the Usage page provides two s ## Requesting higher limits -To request higher rate limits or a higher monthly spend cap, use Request rate limit increase on the Rate limits page.--Support can also raise limits.
