# Rate limits

> Per-organization throttling, response headers, and how to handle 429s.

The Agntix gateway applies rate limits per organization. Defaults:

| Tier       | Window | Requests |
| ---------- | ------ | -------- |
| Free       | 60s    | 100      |
| Starter    | 60s    | 600      |
| Growth     | 60s    | 3,000    |
| Enterprise | custom | custom   |

## Response headers

Every authenticated response includes:

```http theme={null}
X-RateLimit-Limit: 600
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 412
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1714305600
```

When you exceed the limit:

```http theme={null}
HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests
Retry-After: 17
```

## Handling 429

Implement exponential backoff with jitter, capped at 60s:

```javascript theme={null}
async function callWithBackoff(req, attempt = 0) {
  const res = await fetch(req);
  if (res.status !== 429) return res;
  const retryAfter = Number(res.headers.get("Retry-After")) || 2 ** attempt;
  const jitter = Math.random() * 1000;
  await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, retryAfter * 1000 + jitter));
  return callWithBackoff(req, Math.min(attempt + 1, 5));
}
```

<Warning>
  Streaming endpoints (SSE) are not rate-limited per request — they consume one connection slot from
  your concurrent-stream quota instead.
