<h2>Why limits exist</h2>
+
<p>Limits keep APIs reliable for everyone using the platform.</p>

{{PageIndex}}
+
Rate limits may apply by user, organization, project, API credential, IP address, or endpoint. Exact limits should be documented here as APIs stabilize.
+
+
## Limit dimensions
+
+
- Requests per time window.
+
- Burst capacity.
+
- Endpoint-specific limits.
+
- Project or organization quotas.
+
- Webhook delivery retry limits.
+
+
## Client behavior
+
+
1. Respect status codes and retry headers.
+
2. Use exponential backoff for retries.
+
3. Cache stable responses where appropriate.
+
4. Avoid polling when [[Webhooks]] can provide updates.
+
5. Contact support if a legitimate integration needs higher limits.
