  status_code: 429
  headers: none documented
  note: Each endpoint has its own limit and Spoke may change limits at any time.
guidance: >-
  On 429, wait before retrying and use exponential backoff plus random jitter to
  avoid thundering-herd retries. Sustained high-frequency traffic near the limit
  is throttled even within a burst allowance.
limits:
- scope: write endpoints (POST create, PATCH update, DELETE)
  limit_count: 5
  window: per second
- scope: driver creation (createDriver)
  limit_count: 1
  window: per second
  note: Use Batch Import Drivers to add many drivers.
- scope: read endpoints (GET, including list)
  limit_count: 10
  window: per second
- scope: batch import — stops and unassigned stops (importStops, importUnassignedStops)
  limit_count: 100
  window: per 10 minutes
  max_rate: 30 per minute
  throughput: up to 1,000 stops per minute
- scope: batch import — drivers (importDrivers)
  limit_count: 2
  window: per minute
  throughput: up to 100 drivers per minute
- scope: plan optimization / re-optimization (optimizePlan, reoptimizePlan)
  limit_count: 100
  window: per 10 minutes
  max_rate: 30 per minute
  note: Lower limit due to the long-running nature of optimization.

  Teams can contact Spoke to request higher limits for specific use cases.
