Rate Limits & Quotas

Understand the rate limits and quotas for EasyPost API access.

600

Requests / Minute

864,000

Requests / Day

Important Notes

•EasyPost standard rate limit is 600 requests per minute (10 requests per second)
•Daily limit calculated as 600 RPM × 1440 minutes = 864,000 requests per day
•Higher rate limits available for enterprise customers
•Rate limits apply per API key
•Exceeding limits results in HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) response

Best Practices

1.
Implement exponential backoff
When you receive a 429 error, wait before retrying with increasing delays.
2.
Cache responses when possible
Store frequently accessed data locally to reduce API calls.
3.
Use batch operations
Combine multiple operations into single requests where supported.
4.
Monitor your usage
Use the Primrose dashboard to track your API usage and set alerts.

Rate Limit Errors

What happens when you exceed limits

{
  "error": {
    "code": "rate_limit_exceeded",
    "message": "Too many requests",
    "retry_after": 60
  }
}

When rate limited, the response includes a retry_after value indicating how many seconds to wait before retrying.

Enterprise plans include higher rate limits and dedicated infrastructure.
