# Rate limits

> Per-key throughput ceilings.

API requests are bucketed in two windows:

| Window                     | Limit         |
| -------------------------- | ------------- |
| **Burst** (60 seconds)     | 60 requests   |
| **Sustained** (15 minutes) | 1000 requests |

The first bucket to fill returns `429 Too Many Requests`. Wait until the
window rolls over, then retry. Clients should respect the standard
`Retry-After` response header.

These limits are intentionally generous for normal use but tight enough
to prevent a leaked key from being weaponized. If you need a higher
ceiling for a legitimate use case, email [pontus@postbreeze.ai](mailto:pontus@postbreeze.ai).

## Inside the dashboard

Cookie-authenticated dashboard traffic uses a separate, looser bucket —
the limits above apply only to `Authorization: Bearer pb_live_…`
requests.
