Rate Limits

Rate limits are in place to prevent any one user or application from making too many requests to a service all at once. This ensures that the service remains stable and responsive for everyone, avoiding slowdowns or crashes. If the limit is exceeded, a brief waiting period might be required before making more requests. Crossmint will usually respond with HTTP 429 if a specific rate limit is hit.
