description: >
  Autodesk BIM 360 APIs enforce per-minute rate limits on individual endpoints.
  When an application exceeds the published rate limit, the API returns HTTP 429
  "Too Many Requests" with a Retry-After header indicating when to retry.
  Different API modules have separate rate limit tiers. ADN members may request
  higher limits by submitting a formal request with usage analysis for
  evaluation by the relevant product team.
