Backendless · Rate Limits

Backendless Rate Limits

Backendless does not throttle API call volume - all Cloud plans advertise unlimited API calls per month. Instead, capacity is governed by per-plan resource caps (file storage, number of data tables, and concurrent real-time connections) and, on the Scale plan, by daily billing tiers keyed to peak API requests per minute. Standard request constraints apply, such as a maximum page size of 100 objects on data retrieval. Specific account-level concurrency and per-endpoint values are not reconciled in this artifact.

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

It captures 6 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests, connections, tables, gigabytes, and objects.

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 2 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include BaaS, Backend as a Service, Database, Rate Limiting, and Quotas.

Policies

Un-Throttled API Calls
All Backendless Cloud plans provide unlimited, un-throttled API calls; capacity scales with plan resources and Scale billing tiers.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After on any 429 responses.
