# Rate Limits

Plannr's API includes rate limiting to prevent bad actors from overloading the infrastructure and causing a loss of quality for our customers. We offer a generous API rate limit of 500 requests per minute per user. If you get errors with the status code of 429 "Too Many Requests" please make sure you implement a back-off strategy until the rate limit has been lifted.&#x20;

There is a useful `X-Ratelimit-Remaining` header provided in every response from the API which you can programmatically hook up to prevent being rate-limited.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://api-how-to.plannrcrm.com/basics/rate-limits.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
