# Rate Limits

Gizmo API implements rate limiting to ensure fair usage and maintain service stability. Rate limits are applied per organization and are reset every minute.

## Rate-Limited Endpoints

All write operations are rate-limited. This includes any `POST`, `PATCH`, or `DELETE` endpoints. `GET` endpoints are not rate-limited.

Write operations are rate-limited to 20 requests per minute.

## Handling Rate Limits

When you exceed the rate limit, the API returns a 429 Too Many Requests status code. To handle rate limits effectively:

1. Monitor the rate limit headers to track your usage
2. Implement exponential backoff when you receive a 429 response
3. Space out your requests to stay within the limits
4. Consider batching operations where possible to reduce the number of API calls
