API request limitations

The limits are specified for a single bucket. If your load profile exceeds these limits, we recommend distributing the load across multiple buckets at a rate of no more than 250 requests per second (RPS) per bucket.

If you exceed the limit, the server will return a response with the 429 Too Many Requests status code and the Rate Limit exceeded. message.
