To optimize resource allocation and continually enhance the trading experience, we will implement adjustments to the order entry rate limiting rules for the Spot API, effective **November 14, 2024, at 08:00 UTC.**

**1.Current Rate Limit Rules for Spot Trading**
The rate limit for batch/single order placement and amend an order are total of 10r/s (UID+Market)
● The same uid has a rate limit of 10r/s in different markets.The rate limits in different spot markets are independent.

**2.Adjustments to Rate Limit Rules **
The platform will implement rate limiting for trading activities that involve frequent order placement, cancellation, or modification with a low fill ratio over a short period. The specifics are as follows:
 **(1).Statistical Period**
 ● Statistical Period:  Data will be accumulated over the most recent 24 hours, with statistics updated hourly.
  
 **(2).Request Types (order placement, modification, and cancellation) **
● **Statistics Items:** All requests, including successful and failed order placements, cancellations, and modifications (e.g., passive order fills, insufficient funds)will be counted.
  
**  (3).Rate Limit Rules**
**Absence of Fills**
● The order placement (POST /spot/orders) and order modification (PATCH /spot/orders/{order_id}) API endpoints will be subject to a rate limit, capped at a maximum of 10 requests per 10 seconds based on UID.(Advise to keep the ratio above 0.1)
  
  (4).Unlock Mechanism
● The system will perform a continuous evaluation of trading behaviors. Upon hourly detection of a strategy adjustment that aligns with our efficiency benchmarks , the rate limit will be automatically lifted within a one-hour timeframe.
  
Explanation:
 Every hour, the system calculates the fill ratio for the past 24 hours, applying a restriction for at least one hour. If a user is restricted in the current hour as the fill ratio is recalculated hourly, the restriction will be lifted when the fill ratio exceeds the threshold.

**3.Calculation of Fill Ratio**
  The Fill Ratio is determined using the following formula:
  Fill Ratio = (Trade Volume in USDT)/ (sum of new and modification and cancellation requests)
