API Rate Limits, Explained (Vol. 7)

Written by

An update on something we’ve talked about before, with new context.

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.

    The point about trust in the numbers is underrated. That’s our actual bottleneck.
