limit_count: 2
summary: >-
  Inflection publishes an explicit rate limit and explicitly disclaims usage caps: there are no monthly
  quotas or total-call limits on the Developer API, only a per-second ceiling shared by every credential
  in a workspace. No rate-limit response headers are documented — the only runtime signal an agent gets
  is the 429 status, so back-off has to be time-based rather than header-driven.
rate_limits:
- id: developer-api-workspace
  scope: per-workspace
  applies_to: every /v1 endpoint on https://api.inflection.io
  limit: 1000
  unit: requests
  window: 1s
  burst: null
  shared_by: all of a workspace's credentials — Personal Access Tokens and OAuth connected apps draw on one budget
  exhaustion_status: 429
  exhaustion_body: 429 Too Many Requests
  remediation: Back off briefly and retry; exponential backoff with jitter is sufficient per the docs.

- id: inbound-webhook-submissions
  scope: per-inbound-webhook-connection
  applies_to: inbound webhook submissions into Inflection
  limit: 1000
  unit: requests
  window: 1m
  enforced: false
  note: >-
    Published as a recommendation, not a hard cap — "We recommend limiting webhook submissions to
    1,000 requests/minute. If you need to utilize a higher throughput, please reach out to your
    customer success team."

usage_quotas:
  published: false
  note: >-
    The docs state the Developer API has no usage limits — no monthly quotas, no total-call caps.
    Commercial metering is on Monthly Marketed Contacts (journey throughput), not API calls; see
    plans/inflectionio-plans-pricing.yml.
response_headers:
  documented: false
  headers: []
  note: >-
    No X-RateLimit-*, RateLimit-* or Retry-After headers are documented on the rate-limits page or
    present in the OpenAPI. An agent cannot read remaining budget; it can only observe the 429.
