title: Rate limits and Retry-After
description: Back off predictably when a scoped token reaches its request limit.
---

Rate limits are applied per token. The current limit allows a burst of 60 requests and refills at one request per second.

When the limit is exhausted, the API returns `429` with code `rate_limited` and a `Retry-After` header in seconds. Wait for that interval, then retry with bounded exponential backoff and jitter.
