Don't cross the rate limits and you will be fine.

Also,just to clarify. These are the current websocket limits. You can subscribe up to 3000 instruments/shares in a single WebSocket connection, and for single API key you can have 3 WebSocket connection, so you can stream maximum of 9000 shares for a API key. The post I shared,I didn't check properly, it says 1000 instruments/connection which was true then,but now limits have been increased.

It was 1000 tokens per websocket connection earlier. Now it is is increased to 3000 tokens per websocket connection.

I am running a bot where each bot is having its own independent socket connection(each with same API key)

It might be working for legacy reasons now. This will be blocked without intimation, we suggest not open more than 3 websocket connections per api_key.
