Too many requests and rate limits

What a 429 means, the default per-key limit, and how to recover.

A 429 means your integration is sending requests too fast or has used up a free monthly quota. It is not a ban.

Causes

| Cause | Effect |
| --- | --- |
| Per-minute rate limit | Blocks a burst of calls that is too fast |
| Monthly free quota | Blocks some free routes after the month’s allowance is used |

Default limits

Authenticated API keys default to 60 requests per minute per key, or 600 for keys in a company workspace. Public job-board pages have their own per-IP limits.

If you hit the limit, retry with backoff, cache results, or poll less often.

Recover

1. Wait briefly and retry. 2. Confirm you are not opening a new connection for every small request. 3. Check Usage and Billing > Limits. 4. See the tables in Jobs rate limits or Business rate limits.

If you are under the limit and still get errors, see Common API errors.
