Limits and quotas

In addition to the account-level limits described on the pricing page, the Airplane API and runtime have a few lower-level limits to keep performance high and reduce the potential for abuse. See the table below for a summary of these.

Handling limits

The Airplane API will return a 429 error if a request has caused an API-based limit to be exceeded. The client should then try again later, preferably with an exponential backoff.
Note that this behavior is already built-in to the latest Airplane JS and Python SDKs, but may need to be implemented if you are using a custom client.
