A gradual throttle reduction begins in May 2026 to give developers time to transition. This post covers the rationale, timeline, and migration paths available today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why This Change?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Usage patterns over time have revealed scalability challenges with <strong>AccountBalanceQuery<\/strong>. Each call places a load directly on consensus nodes, pulling them away from their core job of processing transactions and reaching consensus. As the network grows, that trade-off becomes harder to justify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Better alternatives already exist. Mirror Nodes and the upcoming Block Nodes are purpose-built for data queries, offering improved performance, lower costs, and no impact on consensus. This deprecation aligns with a broader architectural principle: consensus nodes handle consensus, and specialized infrastructure handles data access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Deprecation Timeline<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The throttle will be reduced gradually over six months:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Period<\/td><td>Throttle<\/td><td>Action<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Feb &#8211; Apr 2026<\/td><td>40,000 rps (unchanged)<\/td><td>Begin planning migration<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>May 2026<\/td><td>20,000 rps<\/td><td>High-volume apps may see rate limiting<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Jun 2026<\/td><td>10,000 rps<\/td><td>Final migration window<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Jul 2026<\/td><td>Removed<\/td><td>All requests will fail<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This timeline applies equally to mainnet, testnet, and previewnet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Migration Paths<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 1: Mirror Node REST API (Available Now)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mirror Node REST API is production-ready and provides cost-effective access to account balances without burdening consensus nodes. Queries are free on the Hedera-hosted mirror node (subject to throttles), and commercial providers offer paid plans for higher volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Endpoint:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"hedera-code-window\" style=\"background-image:url('https:\/\/hedera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/CodeSnippetBackground-scaled.jpg');padding:24px;border-radius:8px;margin:24px 0;\">\n  <!-- Hidden image so WP All Import downloads this background image into Media Library -->\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hedera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/CodeSnippetBackground-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"code window background\" style=\"display:none;\">\n<div class=\"code-window-header\">\n<div class=\"code-window-title\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-window-body\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<pre class=\"language-javascript\" tabindex=\"0\"><code class=\"language-javascript\">GET https:\/\/mainnet.mirrornode.hedera.com\/api\/v1\/balances?account.id={accountId}<\/code><\/pre>\n<button class=\"hedera-copy-btn\">Copy<\/button><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Before (AccountBalanceQuery):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"hedera-code-window\" style=\"background-image:url('https:\/\/hedera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/CodeSnippetBackground-scaled.jpg');padding:24px;border-radius:8px;margin:24px 0;\">\n  <!-- Hidden image so WP All Import downloads this background image into Media Library -->\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hedera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/CodeSnippetBackground-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"code window background\" style=\"display:none;\">\n<div class=\"code-window-header\">\n<div class=\"code-window-title\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-window-body\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<pre class=\"language-javascript\" tabindex=\"0\"><code class=\"language-javascript\">const query = new AccountBalanceQuery()\n    .setAccountId(accountId);\nconst balance = await query.execute(client);<\/code><\/pre>\n<button class=\"hedera-copy-btn\">Copy<\/button><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>After (Mirror Node REST API):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"hedera-code-window\" style=\"background-image:url('https:\/\/hedera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/CodeSnippetBackground-scaled.jpg');padding:24px;border-radius:8px;margin:24px 0;\">\n  <!-- Hidden image so WP All Import downloads this background image into Media Library -->\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hedera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/CodeSnippetBackground-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"code window background\" style=\"display:none;\">\n<div class=\"code-window-header\">\n<div class=\"code-window-title\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-window-body\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<pre class=\"language-javascript\" tabindex=\"0\"><code class=\"language-javascript\">const response = await fetch(\n    `https:\/\/mainnet.mirrornode.hedera.com\/api\/v1\/balances?account.id=${accountId}`\n);\nconst data = await response.json();\nconst balanceInTinybars = data.balances[0].balance;<\/code><\/pre>\n<button class=\"hedera-copy-btn\">Copy<\/button><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Mirror Nodes also support token balance queries via the <strong>\/api\/v1\/accounts\/{accountId}\/tokens<\/strong> endpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 2: Block Nodes and Block Streams (Coming Soon)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For applications that require real-time balance updates, Block Streams offers an event-driven alternative. Based on <a href=\"https:\/\/hips.hedera.com\/hip\/hip-1056\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/hips.hedera.com\/hip\/hip-1056\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HIP-1056<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/hips.hedera.com\/hip\/hip-1081\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/hips.hedera.com\/hip\/hip-1081\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HIP-1081<\/a>, Block Streams unify Hedera&#8217;s event, record, and sidecar streams into a single, efficient, verifiable data stream. Developers will be able to subscribe and filter for only the changes they care about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Block Nodes are actively under development. In the meantime, the Mirror Node REST API is the recommended path forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Migrate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Audit your codebase.<\/strong> Search for <strong>AccountBalanceQuery<\/strong> and <strong>.getAccountBalance()<\/strong> to identify every call site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Choose a migration path.<\/strong> Mirror Node REST API covers the vast majority of use cases today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Test in testnet.<\/strong> The Mirror Node testnet endpoint is available at <strong>https:\/\/testnet.mirrornode.hedera.com\/api\/v1\/balances?account.id={accountId}<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Deploy before May 2026.<\/strong> Completing the migration before the first throttle reduction reduces the risk of rate limiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Remove deprecated references.<\/strong> Clean up all <strong>AccountBalanceQuery<\/strong> usage once the new integration is confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Support &amp; Start Today<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Experts and contributors across the ecosystem are available to help throughout this transition.

It remains fully functional through April 2026 at the current 40,000 rps throttle. However, starting migration early is strongly recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What happens if migration is not completed by May?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applications exceeding the reduced throttle limits will experience rate limiting. After July 2026, all <strong>AccountBalanceQuery<\/strong> requests will fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Will Mirror Nodes have the same throttle limitations?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No. Mirror Nodes are designed for high-throughput query workloads. The Hedera-hosted mirror node offers free queries with specific throttles, and commercial providers offer higher limits through paid plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is there a cost difference?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AccountBalanceQuery<\/strong> is currently free but burdens consensus nodes. Mirror Node REST API queries are also free (with throttles) on the Hedera-hosted mirror node and have no impact on consensus.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.elementor-5381 .elementor-element.elementor-element-18f2aab > figure {margin-top: 20px;margin-bottom:20px;}<\/style>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The AccountBalanceQuery in the Hiero SDKs (and Hedera API) will be entirely removed in July 2026.
