Rate Limits

Rate limits exist to protect against bursts of activity and maintain stability. If you send too many requests in quick succession, a 429 error response code might be returned.

Additional rate limit restrictions apply to wallet creation requests, depending on the worker identification method your organization provides.

Common rate limit error causes

• Large volume of closely-spaced requests
• Many long-lived requests

Handling

• Watch for 429 error response codes and build a retry mechanism.
• Use exponential backoff.
• Use a token bucket to globally limit requests to the available tokens in the bucket.
