Rate limits & quotas
What is enforced, and how to pace yourself.
Rate limits and quotas
Limits are per token, with an hourly ceiling per account so extra tokens are not a way to
go faster. Any authenticated response carries
X-RateLimit-Limit and
X-RateLimit-Remaining, so you can pace yourself without
waiting for a rejection. A 429 adds
Retry-After.
A 401 is the exception: authentication fails before the
throttle runs, so those carry no rate-limit headers.
| Reads | 300 per minute |
| Component writes | 60 per minute |
| Asset uploads | 30 per minute |
| Project creation | 10 per hour, per account |
| All requests | 1000 per hour, per account |
Separately, writes are bounded by the designer's own account: their storage quota and their
project cap. Call /me to read both before a large sync.
