Response headers

Every response tells you where you stand:

x-ratelimit-limit: 10
x-ratelimit-remaining: 7
x-ratelimit-reset: 1

When you exceed the limit

You get a 429 with a retry-after header (seconds). Back off and retry; for bursts, spread writes over time or queue them.

Response 429
{
  "statusCode": 429,
  "error": "rate_limited",
  "message": "Rate limit exceeded for your plan. Slow down or upgrade your plan."
}
