Rate Limits

The BrainUs API implements rate limiting to ensure fair usage and maintain high performance for all users.

Rate Limit Structure

Every API request counts against three separate limits:

All three limits must be satisfied for a request to succeed.

Plan	Per Minute	Per Day	Per Month
Free	10	300	300
Starter	20	2,000	2,000
Pro	60	10,000	10,000
Enterprise	200	50,000	50,000

Check your current rate limit status in the Dashboard.

Every API response includes rate limit information in the headers:

X-RateLimit-Limit: 60
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 55
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1640995200

Header	Description
`X-RateLimit-Limit`	Maximum requests allowed in the window
`X-RateLimit-Remaining`	Requests remaining in current window
`X-RateLimit-Reset`	Unix timestamp when limit resets

When you exceed a rate limit, you'll receive a 429 Too Many Requests response:

{
  "error": {
    "code": "rate_limit_exceeded",
    "message": "Rate limit exceeded",
    "retry_after": 30
  }
}
