Rate limits

When using the SDK with the API transport, requests are subject to a flat rate limit of 120 requests per minute. This helps to ensure API stability and helps to prevent misuse of Abstract servers. Rate limits are issued on a per-token basis rather than per-client; this means that multiple clients configured to use the same token will exhaust the same rate limit.

Rate limits can be avoided altogether by using the CLI transport. See Transports for information.

Managing rate limits

If an SDK client issues too many requests over a given time period, an Abstract.RateLimitError will be thrown that contains information that can be used to safely resume requests. The resetsAt property is an epoch timestamp indicating when the rate limit resets.

try {
  // Query all projects
  const projects = await client.projects.list();
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof Abstract.RateLimitError) {
    // Query all projects again
    setTimeout(() => {
      const projects = await client.projects.list();
    },
    // Wait until the rate limit resets
    error.data.resetsAt - Date.now());
  }
}
