Autodesk Rate Limits

Autodesk Platform Services (APS) APIs are rate-limited per-application and per-token. Per-API rate-limit numbers are documented in each API's reference page (e.g. Model Derivative, Data Management) rather than at a single canonical URL. Throttled responses use HTTP 429 with Retry-After. The public rate-limit overview pages were not directly fetchable for this revision.

Autodesk Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Autodesk on the APIs.io network, in the API Commons Rate Limits shape.

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, measuring varies and concurrent_requests.

Limit state is signalled in the retryAfter and requestId response headers, and an exhausted limit returns HTTP 429.

This profile was written by API Evangelist and has not been verified against a page the provider published; treat every limit as unconfirmed until a dated transcription replaces it.

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

Tagged areas include 3D Modeling, BIM, CAD, Construction, and Engineering.

Policies

Backoff Strategy
Honor Retry-After when present; use exponential backoff with jitter on 429 / 503.
Per-App Token Scoping
APS rate limits are scoped to the calling app's client_id and to the access token; multi-app callers should split credentials.
Cloud Credits as Soft Cap
For chargeable APIs (Model Derivative, Design Automation, Reality Capture, Data Exchange), the Cloud Credit balance acts as an additional consumption cap independent of per-second rate limits.
