Hi @mitevandon94 and welcome to our Infura community.

We are having some rate limits for our IPFS API as follows:

Write API calls have 10 requests/sec limit for the following endpoints:

"/api/v0/add",
"/api/v0/block/put",
"/api/v0/dag/put",
"/api/v0/object/put",
"/api/v0/pin/add"

You can retrieve IPFS data using the API with a limit of 100 requests/sec via the remaining read-only methods such as:

"/api/v0/cat"
"/api/v0/get"
"/api/v0/dag"

You can check all of our limits for IPFS here → IPFS | Infura Documentation
