  Published LogicMonitor REST API rate limits, replacing the 2026-05-04 generated scaffold that carried
  invented per-tier numbers. Limits are assigned per endpoint AND method combination, not per tier and not
  per user — they apply to every request made for the account. LogicMonitor states it reserves the right to
  reduce limits below these defaults when portal performance, alerting or data collection are affected.
scope: per-account
headers:
  limit: X-Rate-Limit-Limit
  remaining: X-Rate-Limit-Remaining
  window: X-Rate-Limit-Window
  retryAfter: null
  policy: null
header_notes: >-
  X-Rate-Limit-Limit is the request limit per X-Rate-Limit-Window; X-Rate-Limit-Remaining is the requests
  left in the current window; X-Rate-Limit-Window is the rolling window length in seconds. LogicMonitor
  does NOT send Retry-After, and does not use the RFC 9239 RateLimit-* header family. The documented
  recovery pattern is to sleep for X-Rate-Limit-Window seconds when X-Rate-Limit-Remaining reaches zero.

caveats:
  - >-
    Defaults are documented as tested for occasional peak usage, not continuous use. LogicMonitor states it
    gives highest precedence to portal availability and reserves the right to reduce limits from the defaults.
  - Customers whose needs exceed these design limits are directed to their customer success manager.
  - Endpoints not listed in the exceptions table follow the default per-method limit.
