Use this skill

Your agent runs on

Adds every file the skill has, pinned so you can update it. No account needed.

pip install "decimalai>=0.15"
decimalai skills add jeremylongshore-elevenlabs-rate-limits
claude --plugin-dir "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)/.agents"

The same install from Python, for a notebook or a setup script.

Install

pip install "decimalai>=0.15"

Add the skill

from decimalai import skillpkg

# Writes .agents/skills and .decimal/skills.toml. Safe to run twice.
result = skillpkg.add("jeremylongshore-elevenlabs-rate-limits")
if result.exit_code:
    raise SystemExit(result.problems)

print("Added. Start Claude Code with the command below.")

Start Claude Code with it

claude --plugin-dir "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)/.agents"

Type these in a Claude Code session. No account or API key. It writes the skill and any files it bundles, and asks first when its safety rating isn't Passed.

Add the DecimalAI plugin, once

/plugin marketplace add decimal-labs/decimalai-claude-plugins
/plugin install decimalai@decimalai

Install this skill

/decimalai:install jeremylongshore-elevenlabs-rate-limits

The plugin needs python3 and curl on your machine.

No Python or account. Claude Code picks it up in its next session.

Save it into your project

curl -fsSL --create-dirs -o .claude/skills/jeremylongshore-elevenlabs-rate-limits/SKILL.md https://app.decimal.ai/s/jeremylongshore-elevenlabs-rate-limits/SKILL.md

Copy SKILL.md

Save it in your project, as

.claude/skills/jeremylongshore-elevenlabs-rate-limits/SKILL.md

This gets SKILL.md only. The skill's 2 other files are not included.

ElevenLabs Rate Limits

Overview

Handle ElevenLabs rate limits with plan-aware concurrency queuing, exponential backoff, and quota monitoring. ElevenLabs uses two rate limit mechanisms: concurrent request limits (per plan) and system-level throttling. The key insight is that a 429 means two different things depending on its detail.status — and each demands the opposite response.

Prerequisites

ElevenLabs SDK installed (@elevenlabs/elevenlabs-js)
Understanding of your subscription plan's limits
p-queue package (recommended): npm install p-queue

Instructions

Step 1: Understand the Two 429 Error Types

ElevenLabs returns HTTP 429 for two different reasons. Read the detail.status field to tell them apart — the correct strategy is opposite for each.

429 Variant	Response Body	Cause	Strategy
`too_many_concurrent_requests`	`{"detail":{"status":"too_many_concurrent_requests"}}`	Exceeded plan concurrency	Queue requests, don't backoff
`system_busy`	`{"detail":{"status":"system_busy"}}`	Server overload	Exponential backoff

Step 2: Know Your Plan Concurrency Limits

Concurrency is capped per plan. Size your queue to this number — never higher.

Plan	Max Concurrent Requests	Characters/Month
Free	2	10,000
Starter	3	30,000
Creator	5	100,000
Pro	10	500,000
Scale	15	2,000,000
Business	15	Custom

Step 3: Assemble the Four Building Blocks

Write four small modules and compose them. The full, copy-ready source for each is in references/implementation.md — the skeleton below shows how they fit together.

Request queue (rate-limiter.ts) — a p-queue sized to your plan's concurrency limit. This is the response to too_many_concurrent_requests: queue, do not back off.
Backoff wrapper (backoff.ts) — exponential backoff with jitter for system_busy and 5xx; immediate short retry for concurrency; hard-fail on 401/400/404.
Quota monitor (quota-monitor.ts) — polls user.subscription character usage, warns at a threshold, and blocks a request that would overrun remaining quota.
Resilient client (resilient-client.ts) — composes all three so one generateSpeech() call guards quota, queues, and backs off automatically:

// src/elevenlabs/resilient-client.ts (skeleton — full source in references/implementation.md)
export function createResilientClient(plan = "pro") {
  const client = new ElevenLabsClient({ maxRetries: 0 }); // we handle retries
  const queue = createRequestQueue(plan);                 // Step 3.1
  const quota = new QuotaMonitor(client);                 // Step 3.3

  return {
    async generateSpeech(voiceId, text, modelId = "eleven_multilingual_v2") {
      await quota.guardRequest(text.length);              // Step 3.3
      return queue.add(() =>                              // Step 3.1
        withBackoff(() =>                                 // Step 3.2
          client.textToSpeech.convert(voiceId, { text, model_id: modelId })
        )
      );
    },
  };
}

Step 4: Mind Model Cost When Managing Quota

Quota is spent in credits-per-character, which varies by model. Use Flash/Turbo models during development to conserve quota.

Model	Credits per Character	10,000 Chars Cost
`eleven_v3`	1.0	10,000 credits
`eleven_multilingual_v2`	1.0	10,000 credits
`eleven_flash_v2_5`	0.5	5,000 credits
`eleven_turbo_v2_5`	0.5	5,000 credits

Output

Applying this skill produces four TypeScript modules under src/elevenlabs/ and a rate-limited request path:

rate-limiter.ts — exports createRequestQueue(plan) returning a plan-sized PQueue.
backoff.ts — exports withBackoff(operation, config) returning the operation's result or throwing after maxRetries.
quota-monitor.ts — exports a QuotaMonitor class with check() → { used, limit, remaining, pctUsed, warning } and guardRequest(textLength).
resilient-client.ts — exports createResilientClient(plan) whose generateSpeech() returns TTS audio, plus getQueueStats() and checkQuota().

At runtime: concurrent requests stay at or below the plan cap, system_busy responses are retried with backoff, and requests that would overrun quota fail fast with a clear error instead of a wasted API call.

Error Handling

Scenario	Detection	Response
Concurrent limit hit	429 + `too_many_concurrent_requests`	Queue; retry after ~50ms per queued request
System busy	429 + `system_busy`	Exponential backoff (1s, 2s, 4s, 8s...)
Quota exhausted	401 + `quota_exceeded`	Stop requests; alert; wait for reset
Server error	500-599	Exponential backoff; max 5 retries

Examples

Concise starting point — batch generation with just the queue:

import { createRequestQueue } from "./elevenlabs/rate-limiter";

const queue = createRequestQueue("pro"); // 10 concurrent
const clips = await Promise.all(
  texts.map(text =>
    queue.add(() => client.textToSpeech.convert(voiceId, { text, model_id: "eleven_flash_v2_5" }))
  )
); // 20 requests, at most 10 in flight

For the full resilient-client example, per-429-variant branching at the call site, and the batch pattern in context, see references/examples.md.
