# Rate limits

> Monitor limits and recover from rate-limited requests.

Amplify applies the following default v1 limits:

| Scope        | Limit            | Window    |
| ------------ | ---------------- | --------- |
| Per endpoint | 2,500 requests   | 5 minutes |
| Per tenant   | 100,000 requests | 24 hours  |

Endpoint- or plan-specific overrides may apply.

Responses expose the active limit through these headers:

* `X-RateLimit-Limit`: Maximum requests in the current window
* `X-RateLimit-Remaining`: Requests remaining
* `X-RateLimit-Reset`: Unix timestamp when the window resets
* `Retry-After`: Seconds to wait after a `429` response

When the API returns `429 Too Many Requests`, pause until `Retry-After` or `X-RateLimit-Reset`, then retry with exponential backoff and jitter.
