Rate Limits

CoreTone enforces rate limits to ensure fair usage and platform stability. Limits vary by subscription tier.

Limits by Plan

Handling Rate Limits

When you exceed your rate limit, the API returns a 429 Too Many Requests response:
Best practices:
  • Implement exponential backoff on 429 responses
  • Cache profile lookup results to reduce redundant calls
  • Use the retry_after value to determine when to retry
  • Monitor your usage in the Developer Portal
