Rate limits - Elementary

Requests are rate-limited per account (across all of that account’s tokens).

Headers

Every response carries the current window state:

Header	Meaning
`RateLimit-Limit`	Max requests allowed in the window
`RateLimit-Remaining`	Requests left in the current window
`RateLimit-Reset`	Seconds until the window resets

When you’re limited

Exceeding the limit returns 429 Too Many Requests with a Retry-After header (seconds to wait) and the standard error envelope with the rate_limited code:

HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests
Retry-After: 12

{
  "error": {
    "code": "rate_limited",
    "message": "Rate limit exceeded: 120 requests per minute."
  }
}

Back off for at least Retry-After seconds before retrying. A client that reads RateLimit-Remaining and paces itself will rarely hit 429.
