Bloomberg Aim Rate Limits

Bloomberg AIM does not publish public API rate limits. Throughput, concurrency, and message-rate ceilings are governed by the customer's AIM contract, the upstream BLPAPI / B-PIPE agreements, and the FIX broker network.

Limits

AIM API / FIX session tenant

varies

see AIM contract / FIX session configuration

Per-tenant order throughput, message rate, and concurrent session ceilings are configured at AIM tenant provisioning time.

BLPAPI bridge account/terminal

varies

see Bloomberg BLPAPI documentation

AIM workflows that read or write through BLPAPI inherit BLPAPI's daily field/security caps documented inside the Terminal.

Policies

Tenant-scoped throttling

Limits apply per AIM tenant; raises require Bloomberg Enterprise client services engagement.

Backoff

Clients should respect AIM SDK / FIX session events and apply exponential backoff with jitter on throttled responses.
