sunor enforces rate limits to ensure fair usage and platform stability. Limits are applied per API key across all endpoints.

Limits

All API endpoints share the same rate limit window. The limit resets every 60 seconds.

When you hit the limit

If you exceed the rate limit, the API returns a 429 Too Many Requests response with a Retry-After header indicating how many seconds to wait.

Response headers

Best practices

Respect Retry-After

When you receive a 429 response, wait for the duration specified in the Retry-After header before making another request.

Use exponential backoff

For automated systems, implement exponential backoff when receiving rate limit errors to avoid hammering the API.

Batch wisely

Instead of submitting many tasks simultaneously, spread submissions over time to stay within limits.

Monitor remaining quota

Check X-RateLimit-Remaining in response headers to proactively slow down before hitting the limit.
