# Rate Limits

Rate limiting/throttling is a reliable method for reducing downtime errors and increasing server availability by maxing the number of requests that can be executed within a specified time.

## Current Rate Limits

Aspire limits the number of requests that can be initiated per minute for all API users combined in both the Sandbox and Production environments:

| **Environment** | **Rate Limiting** |
| --- | --- |
| Sandbox | 60 requests per minute |
| Production | 1,200 requests per minute (20 requests per second) |

## Reaching the Limit

Once you reach the limit, an HTTP 429 status code and an error message detailing the limitation hit will appear. Once the limitation time has passed, you can attempt to execute another request.

  
  

Restriction over the rate at which an operation can be executed.
