Rate Limiting
Overview
To protect the service for all customers, AccelerationCloud APIs are subject to rate limiting. These limits mitigate denial-of-service attacks and abusive actions such as rapidly updating configurations, aggressive polling, and concurrency, or excessive API calls.
The AccelerationCloud API rate limits are divided into several categories: API authentication, platform, cores, and other endpoints. Each category has APIs with rate limits that are enforced individually as well as a cumulative rate limit. The rate limits vary by service subscription

service subscription
.
We enforce the following per-minute limits and per-day limits
Category | Standard(minute/day) | Professional(minute/day) | Enterprise(minute/day) |
---|---|---|---|
Authentication | 10/60 | 10/100 | Contact Sales |
UniFi | 250/10,000 | 500/50,000 | Contact Sales |
Platform Service | 250/10,000 | 500/50,000 | Contact Sales |
Austin Capital | 250/10,000 | 500/50,000 | Contact Sales |
Modern Rails | 250/10,000 | 500/50,000 | Contact Sales |
If any org-wide rate limit is exceeded, a 429 status code is returned. You can anticipate hitting the rate limit by checking AccelerationCloud's rate-limiting headers. Additionally, you are sent an email notification when your org approaches its rate limit.
Metrics
Rate limiting is implemented at the client level and is counted over a 24-hour window for all authenticated calls.
The maximum number of authentication requests in a 5-second window is 10
API Request
If the API request breaches a limit, the request will be rejected with the 429 Too Many Requests
response code. The response will also contain X-RateLimit-Retry-After
header to indicate how long an API client should wait (in seconds) before making another request.
