# Rate Limits

> Per-key request limits

Every API key is limited to **60 requests per minute**, independent of your workspace's plan. This
applies only to `/api/v1/` traffic authenticated with a key — it doesn't affect the ChatBridge dashboard
itself.

When you exceed the limit, you'll get a `429 Too Many Requests` response. The response carries a
`Retry-After` header telling you how many seconds to wait before retrying:

```
HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests
Retry-After: 42
Content-Type: application/json

{"error": "Request was throttled. Expected available in 42 seconds."}
```

The body follows the standard [error envelope](/errors). Respect the `Retry-After` value rather than
retrying immediately in a tight loop; the limit resets on a rolling one-minute window. The limit is keyed
to the **individual API key**, not your workspace — one busy integration won't consume another key's
budget, and dashboard traffic is never affected.

<Note>
  Need a higher limit for a specific integration? Reach out — this is a flat default today, not a hard
  architectural ceiling.
