Our APIs are protected using a sliding window rate limiter. This means that exceeding the allowed number of requests per time window will result in a 429 Too Many Requests (rate-limited) response. The rate limiter returns for each request the following headers:
  • RateLimit-Limit: The maximum number of requests allowed in the current time window.
  • RateLimit-Remaining: The number of requests remaining in the current time window.
  • RateLimit-Reset: The time at which the current rate limit window will reset in seconds.
For example, if you exceed the rate limit, you will receive the following response: 
{
  "type": "RateLimited",
  "description": "The request has been rate-limited.",
  "status": 429
}

​
Example Headers

RateLimit-Limit: 100
RateLimit-Remaining: 9
RateLimit-Reset: 6
When using the official Botpress Client, the rate limiter is automatically handled for you.
