Rate Limits

Rate limits protect AeThex services from overload and abuse.

Best Practices

• Cache non-sensitive responses.
• Retry with exponential backoff.
• Avoid tight polling loops.
• Prefer webhooks for async events.
• Treat 429 responses as a signal to slow down.

Suggested Client Behavior

When rate limited:

1. Stop the immediate retry loop.
2. Read retry headers if provided.
3. Back off.
4. Queue non-urgent work.
5. Surface a helpful message to users.
