All CPS API endpoints limit throughput to a certain number of requests in a given time period. These limits are set per account regardless of the number of users or API credentials from that account accessing the CPS API. The API returns a status code of 429 if these rate limits are exceeded.
The limits are:
- Maximum limit of 50 requests per every minute, per account.
- Short-term rate limit of 20 requests per 2 seconds, per account.
The rate limit for the List active certificates operation is 10 requests per minute per account.

Rate limits may change without prior notice to protect and ensure platform stability.
