# Rate Limits Rate limits are applied at the user level, at the rate of 1,800 requests per minute. We ask all API users to support platform health by attempting to adhere to this limit in their own integration design. If overage occurs, a 429 status code will be returned. If significant overage occurs, a cooldown period may be implemented along with the 429 response; this period is not predictable and could hamper your business processes for time-sensitive requests. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://developer.salesintel.io/salesintel-api-documentation/getting-started-with-salesintel-apis/rate-limits.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
