Rate limiting

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 35 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.
