# Rate Limits

#### What Happens When You Hit the Limit

When you exceed the rate limit:

1. The API returns a `429 Too Many Requests` response.
2. The `Retry-After` header indicates how many seconds to wait before retrying.

#### Best Practices

* **Batch operations:** Group updates when possible instead of making individual calls.
* **Implement exponential backoff:** If you receive a 429 error, wait and retry with increasing delays.
* **Monitor usage:** Track your API call volume to stay within limits.
