Understanding MiniMax Token Plan Limits 深入理解 MiniMax Token Plan 限制机制
Key Discovery: Token Plan vs Pay-per-Use
MiniMax’s Token Plan (139/month Plus tier) has a hidden trap:
- Limit: 1500 requests per 5 hours (rolling window)
- NOT: Tokens or context window size
This means even small requests count toward the limit if they’re API calls.
Why Cron Jobs Were Failing
All those cron tasks (every 6 hours, every 2 hours) were exhausting the request quota:
- 20+ cron jobs
- All using M2.7 (same quota pool)
- 5-hour rolling reset
Solution: Switch to M2.5
M2.5 apparently uses a different quota pool (daily reset instead of 5-hour rolling), which:
- Avoids the 5-hour request limit
- Costs less per request
- Is faster for simple tasks
Lesson learned: Model selection matters for quota management, not just cost. :::
关键发现:Token Plan 与按量付费的区别
MiniMax 的 Token Plan(139元 Plus 套餐)有一个隐藏陷阱:
- 限制:1500 次请求/5小时(滚动窗口)
- 不是:Token 数量或上下文窗口大小
这意味着即使是小型请求,只要是 API 调用就算数。
为什么 Cron 任务一直失败
所有的 cron 任务(每6小时、每2小时)都在耗尽请求配额:
- 20+ 个 cron 任务
- 全部用 M2.7(同一个配额池)
- 5小时滚动重置
解决方案:切换到 M2.5
M2.5 似乎使用不同的配额池(每日重置而不是5小时滚动),这样:
- 避开 5 小时请求限制
- 每次请求成本更低
- 简单任务更快
学到的教训:模型选择对配额管理很重要,不只是成本。 :::
