Rate Limits
The AthenaHQ API enforces the following rate limits:
- 60 requests per minute per organization
- No limit on total number of requests
Rate limits are enforced on a per-organization basis. All API keys within the same organization share this limit. If you exceed the rate limit, subsequent requests will be rejected until the rate limit window resets.
All authenticated API responses include rate limit headers:
| Header | Description |
|---|
x-rate-limit-limit | Maximum requests allowed per minute (60) |
x-rate-limit-remaining | Requests remaining in the current window |
x-rate-limit-reset | Unix timestamp (seconds) when the rate limit resets |
When you exceed the rate limit (429 response), an additional header is included:
| Header | Description |
|---|
retry-after | Seconds to wait before retrying |
