Rate Limits
Open Console LimitsRate-limit counters are tracked in the Developer Console usage screens. The API returns 429 rate_limited when a key/application exceeds its configured allowance.
| Limit Types | Burst, daily and monthly counters are represented in usage summaries. |
|---|---|
| Headers | Retry-After is returned for rate-limited responses when available. |
| Best Practice | Use exponential backoff, avoid tight retry loops and send only changed fields for PATCH updates. |
