Bannerbear Rate Limits

Bannerbear enforces a documented API rate limit of 30 requests per 10 seconds per API key. Separately, each subscription plan caps the number of image/video API credits that can be consumed per month; unlike per-request throttling, the monthly credit cap is a hard quota that cannot be exceeded without upgrading the plan. Async create requests return 202 and do not block on render time, so request-rate limits apply to the submission and polling calls rather than to render duration.

Bannerbear Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Bannerbear on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.

It captures 5 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests, credits, and seconds.

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

Tagged areas include Image Generation, Video Generation, Templates, Media, and Automation.

Synchronous Timeout request
seconds
10 second timeout
Synchronous host (sync.api.bannerbear.com) returns 408 if a render exceeds 10 seconds; use async + webhook/poll instead.

Policies

Hard Monthly Quota
Image/video credit limits cannot be overrun; the account must upgrade to a higher plan to continue generating.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should throttle to stay within 30 requests / 10 seconds and implement exponential backoff with jitter on 429 responses.
Async Submission
Prefer asynchronous create + webhook or polling over the synchronous host to avoid 10-second timeouts on heavier renders.
