# Rate Limiting

> Understand and manage API rate limits to ensure reliable access.

## Overview

Partoo enforces rate limiting to ensure fair and stable use of the API across all users.

<Info>
  By default, each organization is allowed **300 requests per minute**.
</Info>

## Rate Limit Headers

When rate limits are exceeded, the API returns:

* HTTP status `429`
* A `Retry-After` header specifying when to retry

```http theme={null}
HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests
Retry-After: 60
```

<Tip>
  If your integration requires more calls for any reason, get in touch with your Customer Success Manager to update this limit, subject to review by our Technical team.
</Tip>

## Tips to Avoid Rate Limiting

<Tip>
  To minimize the chance of hitting rate limits:

  * Space out your API calls instead of batching large volumes.
  * Use caching to avoid redundant requests.
  * Implement exponential backoff with jitter for retries.
</Tip>
