Rate Limiting Policy

This article provides an overview of the rate limiting policies within the platform to show how many requests a tenant can sustain.

How Rate Limiting Works

Each tenant is limited to 600 API requests per minute on all public-facing APIs. This limit maintains fair usage and system stability. Rate limits apply globally across all public APIs per tenant. If the limit is exceeded, the API responds with HTTP 429 – Too Many Requests.

---

Event Log Example

Rate limit details are recorded in the event log:

{
  "x-ratelimit": 600,
  "x-ratelimit-remaining": 450,
  "x-ratelimit-reset": 1632425760
}

---

Exceeding the Limit

If the request limit is exceeded, the API responds:

HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests

The event log shows the limit, remaining requests, and reset time.

Best Practices

• Retry Logic – If you receive an HTTP 429 response, use the reset time from the event log to determine when it is safe to retry requests.

• Monitor Usage – Regularly review the event log to track request volumes and avoid recurring limit breaches.

Quota Increase

Higher rate limits for public APIs may be available on request based on your subscription. Contact [email protected] to discuss your requirements.
