Rate Limiting

In order to ensure the quality of service to all VGS customers and help prevent runaway scripts from depleting customer quotas we have rate limiting in our both sandbox and live environment.

Limits

Limits are set depending on the service type (Inbound/Outbound) and the environment type (Sandbox/Live).

Inbound traffic

Inbound traffic is limited by unique IP, per vault (rpm = requests per minute). If the rate limit is X rpm and the number of IPs N, the max rpm would be X*N for that inbound route (X = 200 rpm for SANDBOX, X = 5,000 rpm for LIVE, and N = number of IP unique addresses).

• Sandbox - 200 rpm

• Live - 5,000 rpm

Outbound traffic

Outbound traffic is limited per vault, a rate limit of X rpm is the limit per vault (X = 200 rpm for SANDBOX, and X = 5,000 rpm for LIVE).

• Sandbox - 200 rpm

• Live - 5,000 rpm

Error

If you've reached your limit, all following requests will be interrupted with status code 429 and will be reset after a minute.
