# Rate limits

> Per-API-key rate limits on the TAMTAM API.

The TAMTAM API is rate-limited per API key.

## Limit

**10 requests per second** per API key across all endpoints.

## Exceeding the limit

When you exceed the limit, the API returns `429 Too Many Requests`:

```json theme={null}
{
  "Message": "Too Many Requests"
}
```

<Tip>
  Implement exponential backoff with jitter when retrying after a `429`. Start at 1 second and double on each retry, up to a reasonable maximum.
</Tip>
