Rate Limit Tiers

Rate limits are based on your Affonso subscription plan:

Response Headers

Every API response includes rate limit information in the headers:

Handling Rate Limits

When you exceed the rate limit, you’ll receive a 429 Too Many Requests response:

Best Practices

When you receive a 429, wait for the Retry-After duration, then retry with exponential backoff.
Cache API responses where appropriate to reduce the number of requests.
Use pagination with reasonable page sizes instead of fetching all records at once.
Where possible, batch multiple operations into fewer API calls.
