Rate limits

Every OpenPost workspace has a rate budget that resets continuously (token-bucket algorithm). You’ll almost never hit it from a normal app — the limits are generous and headers tell you when you’re close.

Default limits

When you’re throttled

Exceeding your workspace limit returns 429 Too Many Requests. Wait and retry with exponential backoff.

HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests

Recommended client behavior

1. On 429, back off with exponential delay + jitter — e.g. 1s, 2s, 4s with ±25% random jitter.
2. Space out bulk operations rather than firing them all at once. Most scheduling workflows can comfortably sit within the 300 req/min budget.
3. Prefer scheduling ahead (up to 180 days) over rapid-fire publish-now calls.
