Rate limits

​

How the limit works

• The limit is per key, not per organisation. Two keys each get 120 a minute.
• It is a sliding window. A request stops counting exactly 60 seconds after it was made.
• Every authenticated request counts, whether it succeeds, fails or is refused with 429. Retrying straight away while limited keeps you limited.
• A burst of requests sent at the same moment can overshoot the limit slightly.
