Rate limits
Handle request limiting and Retry-After responses.
Limits
The API limits requests by instance, IP address, key, project and room. Defaults are deployment settings, not guaranteed cloud quotas.
| Scope | Default requests per minute |
|---|---|
| API instance | 10,000 |
| Client IP | 600 |
| API key | 1,200 |
| Project | 3,000 |
| Room | 1,200 |
Response
A limit returns HTTP 429, code: 'RATE_LIMITED' and a retry-after header in seconds.
Retry behavior
Wait for Retry-After before another request. The Node SDK retries eligible GET requests within the configured deadline. It does not automatically retry writes.
Do not poll runtime cleanup or usage endpoints in a tight loop.
