Rate limits
Limits are per account and reset on a rolling one-minute window. Exceeding a limit returns 429 with a Retry-After header.
Request limits
| Operation | Hobby | Team | Scale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Object reads / min | 600 | 6,000 | Custom |
| Object writes / min | 120 | 1,200 | Custom |
| Metadata calls / min | 300 | 3,000 | Custom |
| Open sync channels | 20 | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Max object size | 256 MB | 5 GB | 5 GB+ |
Handling 429
When you're limited, back off for the number of seconds in Retry-After and retry. The SDKs do this automatically with jitter.
Sync channels don't count against read limits. Keeping a channel open is free; only the bytes it delivers are metered as egress.
