# Why do I see the “429 Too Many Requests” error?

Learn how API request limits work and what the 429 Too Many Requests error means

This error means that the API request limit has been exceeded.

Current API rate limit:

-   120 requests per minute.
    

You can monitor the limit using response headers:

-   X-RateLimit-Limit — total request limit;
    
-   X-RateLimit-Remaining — remaining requests.
    

If you regularly hit the limit, review how requests are being sent and optimize request frequency where possible.

If higher limits are required, contact support or your manager.
