  https://documentation.adaptive.live/developer-guide/adaptive-api and the full documentation
  corpus (https://documentation.adaptive.live/llms-full.txt, 295 pages), searched for rate
  limit, throttle, quota, 429, Retry-After and X-RateLimit. Also probed live response headers
  on 2026-09-07.
description: >-
  Adaptive publishes no rate limits for the Client API, and the live surface emits no
  rate-limit headers. An honest zero: an agent or integration calling this API has no
  documented budget and no runtime signal telling it how much of one is left.

  detail: >-
    A live 401 from GET https://app.adaptive.live/api/v3/client/users/list returned only
    date, content-type and content-length. No RateLimit-*, X-RateLimit-*, Retry-After or
    equivalent header was present. Headers on an AUTHENTICATED 200 could not be observed —
    the surface requires a Client App credential we do not hold — so their absence on a
    successful response is not asserted, only their absence on the rejection path.
exhaustion_status: not documented
exhaustion_note: >-
  No 429 appears in either of the two per-operation error tables Adaptive publishes. The
  documented failure statuses across the whole surface are 400, 401, 403 and 500.

adjacent_controls:
  note: >-
    Not rate limits, but the throttling-adjacent controls Adaptive DOES publish, so a reader
    is not left thinking nothing bounds usage: alert rules carry a per-rule Cooldown
    (seconds) with a 900-second default that bounds repeat NOTIFICATIONS, and the
    activity-log export server-side scans ranges longer than 24 hours one day at a time. A
    connection timeout is configurable globally on endpoints. None of these limit API call
    volume.
