Appwrite Rate Limits
Appwrite's published rate-limit behaviour. This file replaces a 2026-05-04 scaffold whose per-tier requests-per-minute numbers were invented — Appwrite does not rate limit by plan tier at all, and recording it that way described a different product.
Appwrite Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Appwrite on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.
The profile also includes 3 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled, quotaExceeded, and serviceUnavailable.
Tagged areas include Applications, Backends, Mobile, Open Source, and Rate Limiting.

Policies
Client-only enforcement
Rate limits apply to Client SDKs. Server SDK calls authenticated with an API key are exempt.
Reset computation
Clients must derive the wait from X-RateLimit-Reset (UTC epoch seconds); no Retry-After is sent.
Free-plan bandwidth exhaustion
On the Free plan, exhausting bandwidth denies API access entirely until the plan is upgraded — a quota consequence more severe than throttling.
Work with this as data
Every rate limit here is available over the APIs.io API and to AI agents over MCP.
