Rate limit
A rate limit caps how many requests you can make in a period; exceeding it returns 429 and a retry time.

In plain English
A cap on how many times you can call an API or use a feature in a short period. Too many requests and you get “slow down” (429) until the limit resets.
Rate limiting restricts how many requests a client can make in a given time window (e.g. 30 requests per minute). It prevents abuse and keeps the service stable. When you exceed the limit, the API returns HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) and usually a Retry-After header.
Our API documentation lists rate limits per endpoint. If you see 429, wait for the reset window or use the Retry-After value before trying again.
