# Rate Limits The ThingSpace APIs enforce a global rate limit of 30 requests per second (RPS). ### Best Practices **Handle 429 Errors**: Exceeding the rate limit will return an `HTTP 429 Too Many Requests` status. Your application should monitor for this error and implement a retry mechanism with exponential backoff. **Use Bulk Operations**: Most endpoints support bulk operations. Grouping multiple operations into a single request reduces your overall request volume and helps prevent rate limit errors.
