API Rate Limit Planner
Calculate the safe delay between requests for each client so your integration stays below the platform's rate limit. Provide the total requests allowed per window, the window length, and how many parallel clients you run.
CalcSimpler Examples
- 90 requests / 60-second window / 3 clients ⇒ 2.00 seconds between requests
- 1,000 requests / 900-second window / 10 clients ⇒ 9.00 seconds between requests
FAQ
What if I only have one client?
Set clients to 1 and the result becomes the raw delay needed between calls.
Does this handle burst limits?
No. It assumes a rolling window limit. Add extra buffer if the API enforces secondary burst caps.
How can I convert the delay to requests per minute?
Take 60 divided by the result to estimate calls per minute per client.
Additional Information
- Delay per client = (window seconds × number of clients) ÷ allowed requests.
- Add a safety margin or jitter when implementing in production systems.
