Rate Limiting and Throtling
Understand and manage rate limiting controls to ensure optimal integration with the iQ Suite Platform.
Overview
To maintain optimal system performance and ensure fair usage, the iQ Suite Platform enforces rate limiting on various SDK function calls. Rate limiting controls the number of requests your application can make within a specific time frame, preventing server overload and ensuring consistent service quality for all users.

Rate Limiting Details
Enforced Rate Limits per Endpoint
| Endpoint | Rate Limit |

Handling Rate Limits
When your application exceeds the allowed rate limits, the API will respond with a 429 Too Many Requests status code. To handle this gracefully and ensure uninterrupted service, implement retry logic with exponential backoff.
