Bancontact · Rate Limits

Bancontact Rate Limits

Bancontact Pro documents THAT it rate-limits (HTTP 429 "Too Many Requests – Rate limit exceeded", declared on five Payment V3 operations with an empty Error Codes body) but publishes no numeric limit, window, scope or response header. limit_count is therefore an honest 0.

Bancontact Rate Limits is the rate-limit profile for Bancontact on the APIs.io network.

The provider publishes no rate limits that could be read; the profile records that absence rather than inventing a ceiling.

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

The profile also includes 2 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled and serviceUnavailable.

Tagged areas include Banking, Belgium, Payments, and Rate Limiting.

Policies

Backoff Strategy
On 429 or 5xx, retry with exponential backoff (provider guidance); TRY_AGAIN_LATER (503) is explicitly retryable after a delay.
Inbound callback throttling
If the merchant's callback endpoint answers 429, Bancontact retries the callback for up to 24 hours.
