I'm getting rate-limited
What our limits are and what to do about them.
Updated
What rate limiting protects
We rate-limit requests to prevent abuse and keep the platform stable for everyone. Limits apply per IP address and per user.
Common scenarios
- Too many failed sign-in attempts — temporary lockout for ~15 minutes.
- Bulk API actions — slow down or batch your requests.
- Spam search queries — usually browser auto-suggest gone wild.
How to fix
In most cases, wait 5–15 minutes and try again. Rate limits are short.
If it persists, you might be sharing an IP with a much busier user (corporate NAT, public WiFi) — switch networks or wait it out.
If you think it's wrong
Contact support with the action you were trying and the time it happened. We can review the logs.
