# Rate Limits

## API rate limits and how to work with them

The Truework API safeguards itself from bursts of incoming traffic by employing API limits on each endpoint. Users who send multiple requests in quick succession may begin to see `429` error responses from the API. We recommend retrying requests using exponential backoff once receiving a `429` response.

There are two types of limits:

- **IP Address:** Limits that apply to the IP address that requests are coming from
- **Account:** Limits that apply to the overall account

### Default rate limits

The following table outlines the default rate limits for the Truework API:

| Limit type | Limit                  |
| ---------- | ---------------------- |
| IP address | 10 requests per second |
| Account    | 10 requests per second |
