I need rate limiter for free tier on Gemini

I am a student and I want to use the free tier on Gemini, I don’t wanna install a model on my pc. Please, make a rate limiter for requests per second and requests per day. I want to use the features from agno, but i can’t. Agno doesn’t have a internal way to do that on their workflow and teams.

Hey @fmg.programador, Thank you for your question.

Agno doesn’t yet have a built-in way to rate limit requests in Teams or Workflows. But you can wrap your calls with a small limiter. For example:

import time

class RateLimiter:
    def __init__(self, rps=1, per_day=100):
        self.rps = rps
        self.per_day = per_day
        self.count, self.last = 0, time.time()

    def acquire(self):
        if self.count >= self.per_day:
            raise Exception("Daily limit reached")
        elapsed = time.time() - self.last
        if elapsed < 1/self.rps:
            time.sleep(1/self.rps - elapsed)
        self.last = time.time()
        self.count += 1

Then just call:

limiter = RateLimiter(rps=1, per_day=200)
limiter.acquire()
resp = agent.run("your message")

This way you can respect Gemini free tier limits without installing anything locally.

I hope this helps

Thanks, I will try this! Does It work for Teams and workflows? How apply in these cases?

Hey @fmg.programador, As explained above it should work in Team and workflow. It is a python script you can wrap around in any functions. Feel free to use it as you want
