Rate Limit, is it a issue for you

200 request per minute limit.

Does anyone building app find this to be limiting factor?
Is it possible to pay for increase in rate limit?

How ‘respectful’ do I need to be with the rate limit? Let’s say I do 150-190 per minute - Am I abusing something and prone to get slow-downs, etc?

Also maybe an incredibly dumb programming question… Let’s say I have the following code:

response = check_position(stock)
where check_position() is a get request to check alpaca positions

and then I do:

print(response)
print(response)
print(response)

Am I sending a request to Alpaca 1x…? or 4x?
