API Rate Limits, Explained

Written by

Every CloudPulse plan includes a rate limit, and every few months someone asks us why. The short answer: rate limits protect the reliability of the platform for everyone, including you, during traffic spikes that would otherwise slow down queries for every other customer sharing the same infrastructure.

Standard plans are capped at 600 requests per minute per API key, with burst headroom for short spikes. If you’re regularly hitting the ceiling, that’s usually a sign to batch requests or move to webhook-based updates instead of polling — both of which we’re happy to help you set up.

    Would love a follow-up post with the actual before/after query plans.

    Curious how this compares to building the same thing in-house with a BI tool?

    Following up from the webinar — is data residency available on Pro plans yet?
