Expanded quota — Per-user-id concurrency

500 / 2,500 per user_id

For expanded-quota accounts, each user_id has 500 deepseek-v4-pro / 2,500 deepseek-flash concurrent connections while the total account concurrency limit also applies. For regular users, user_id values share the account pool.

Last verified: 2026-11-02T04:01:20.558094+00:00. Evidence tier: documented. Surface: API.

Last source review: 2026-11-02T04:01:20.558094+00:00. Expanded-quota accounts retain total account limits and model-specific per-user limits; exceeding a user limit triggers 429 for that user_id. Regular accounts pool user_ids.

Reset rule: concurrent, not time-windowed. Reset type: concurrency.

When reached: HTTP 429 for that user_id only.
