# Rate limits

Learn about how Glu manages rate limits to our API

When you exceed the rate limit you will get `429 Too Many Requests` status responses. You should always implement graceful handling of hitting a rate limit, most languages and frameworks will have tools available to help with this.

#### Current limits

The current limit is **200 requests per 30 seconds**, this is globally for all requests to your organisation. In the future individual rate limits may be applied to specific endpoints and we may modify the limit at any time, its important that you handle being limited correctly.

The 429 request will include the `Retry-After` header for you to use as guidance for retrying however its not recommended to rely on that exclusively, consider exponential backoffs and adding jitter as well.

For most implementations you won't ever come close to our rate limits but if you are consistently running into rate limiting, consider the kind of requests your making and how frequently the underlying data might change and how much data you are caching locally.
