Rate limits are enforced at the Vercel Edge runtime using Upstash Redis sliding-window counters. All limits are sliding 60-second windows unless noted.
Default public API rate limit
| Scope | Limit | Window |
|---|
| Per IP (default) | 600 requests | 60 s |
Applies to all /api/* routes that don’t have a stricter override. Implemented by api/_rate-limit.js / api/_ip-rate-limit.js.
MCP server
| Scope | Limit | Window |
|---|
| Per API key (MCP tools) | 60 requests | 60 s |
See MCP for details.
OAuth endpoints
| Endpoint | Limit | Window | Scope |
|---|
POST /api/oauth/register | 5 | 60 s | Per IP |
GET /api/oauth/authorize | 10 | 60 s | Per IP |
POST /api/oauth/token | 10 | 60 s | Per IP |
Matches the implementations in api/oauth/{register,authorize,token}.js.
Exceeding any of these during the OAuth flow will cause the MCP client to fail the connection handshake — wait 60 s and retry.
Write endpoints
| Endpoint | Limit | Window | Scope |
|---|
POST /api/scenario/v1/run-scenario | 10 | 60 s | Per IP |
POST /api/scenario/v1/run-scenario (queue depth) | 100 in-flight | — | Global |
POST /api/leads/v1/register-interest | 5 | 60 min | Per IP + Turnstile (desktop sources bypass Turnstile) |
POST /api/leads/v1/submit-contact | 3 | 60 min | Per IP + Turnstile |
Other write endpoints (/api/brief/share-url, /api/notification-channels, /api/create-checkout, /api/customer-portal, etc.) fall back to the default per-IP limit above.
Bootstrap / health
These are cached aggressively and have no custom limit beyond the default:
GET /api/bootstrap — s-maxage=30
GET /api/health — s-maxage=15
GET /api/version — s-maxage=60
Response when limited
HTTP 429 with:
Retry-After: <seconds>
Content-Type: application/json
{ "error": "Rate limit exceeded" }
Retry guidance
- Respect
Retry-After. Don’t pound on a 429.
- For batch work, pace yourself: at 600 req/min/IP the default gives you ~10 req/s headroom.
- For MCP, 60/min is generous for conversational use but tight for scripted batch fetches — prefer the REST API for batch.
- Spurious 429s often mean you’re sharing an egress IP (corporate proxy, CI runner). Contact support for a per-key limit bump if needed.
Hard caps (not soft limits)
- Webhook callback URLs must be HTTPS (except localhost).
api/download file sizes capped at ~50 MB per request.
POST /api/scenario/v1/run-scenario globally pauses new jobs when the pending queue exceeds 100 — returns 429.
api/v2/shipping/webhooks TTL is 30 days — re-register to extend.
