| Limits | - volume-quota (binding) 2 minutes of GPU a day unauthenticated (queue priority Low) and 5 minutes a day on a free account (Medium); PRO is 40 minutes source
- request-rate a public Space used as an API may be rate limited by Hugging Face if too many requests are made; no number is published source
|
|---|
| Binding | volume-quota minutes of GPU a day bind long before any request count does |
|---|
| Identity | anonymous the Unauthenticated tier needs no account and gets 2 minutes a day; a free Hugging Face account is the 5-minute tier. What a free account signup requires is unverified on the pages read |

| Egress | not published |

| Interface | rest the Gradio API of a public Space, called with gradio_client.Client(space_id, token=...).predict() |
|---|
| Tooling | gradio_client (pip install --upgrade gradio_client); huggingface_hub for the token |
|---|
| Composes with | the hosting side of the same GPU pool is recorded at compute/huggingface-spaces-zerogpu; duplicating a Space to a private one moves the cost to the caller's account |
|---|
| Reliability | quota left lowers queue priority, and whether a gradio_client call made with a token is counted against that account's quota is not stated on the pages read |
|---|
| Notes | Whether the Gradio API path draws on the same daily quota as the web page is unverified. |

| Evidence note | documented the daily quota table is quoted from the vendor documentation; no Space was called |
