Atproto Rate Limits
AT Protocol enforces rate limits at multiple layers: content write operations use a points-based system per account, general API requests are throttled per IP, and specific sensitive operations (account creation, session creation, handle updates) have their own tighter limits. The Bluesky AppView offers generous limits for read-only access. The Relay (firehose relay) imposes per-second and daily throughput caps on repository stream consumers.
Atproto Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for AT Protocol on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.
It captures 17 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_5_minutes, write_points_per_hour, write_points_per_day, requests_per_day, and bytes_per_upload.
The profile also includes response codes documented for throttled.
Tagged areas include Rate Limiting, XRPC, Bluesky, and AT Protocol.
