Alloy Automation Rate Limits

Alloy Automation applies platform rate limiting and retry logic across the Embedded, Connectivity, Passthrough, and Unified APIs. Alloy also mediates the rate limits of each downstream third-party provider it proxies (via the Passthrough and Unified APIs), so effective throughput for a given connector is bounded by both Alloy's limits and the provider's own limits. Specific numeric RPM/RPS values are not published and vary by plan; verify with Alloy during reconciliation.

Alloy Automation Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Alloy Automation on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests and executions.

The profile also includes 3 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include iPaaS, Integration, Unified API, Embedded, and SaaS.

Limits

Platform Requests api_key
requests
see provider documentation
Plan-dependent request rate per API key across Alloy endpoints.
Action Executions api_key
executions
see provider documentation
Connectivity API action executions are metered and plan-limited.
Passthrough Requests credential
requests
bounded by downstream provider
A passthrough call is subject to the target provider's own rate limits; provider 429s are surfaced back to the caller.
Unified API Reads connection
requests
bounded by downstream provider
Unified list/read calls fan out to the connected provider and inherit that provider's rate limits per connected account.

Policies

Retry Logic
Alloy provides built-in retry logic and error handling; clients should still implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After on 429s.
Per-Credential Isolation
Limits and provider throttling are tracked per connected credential so one end-user's load does not exhaust another's quota.
Tiered Limits
Rate limits increase with higher plans and enterprise agreements.
