Rate limits

Rate limits define how often you can interact with our APIs over a certain period. They serve as guardrails that ensure the service remains stable, accessible, and secure.

Why do we use rate limits?

Rate limits are standard in modern APIs, and we rely on them for several important reasons:

• Protection against misuse: Without limits, someone could intentionally or accidentally send an overwhelming number of requests, potentially degrading service or causing outages. Rate limiting helps prevent those kinds of attacks or spikes in traffic.
• Fair usage for all: By capping how many requests a single user or application can make, we prevent any one party from consuming disproportionate resources. This ensures that the system remains responsive and reliable for everyone.
• System stability and performance: Traffic patterns can change quickly. Rate limits help us keep our infrastructure running smoothly, even during periods of heavy demand, by preventing unexpected overloads.
