Berkshire Hathaway Rate Limits

Published rate limits of the BNSF Customer API Gateway, as stated in the 429 Too Many Requests response of every operation in the eight published OpenAPI documents. Limits are enforced per partner (the mTLS certificate holder) per service, and per service across all partners.

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

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_second and requests_per_minute.

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, quotaExceeded, and gatewayTimeout.

Tagged areas include Conglomerate, Freight Rail, Rate Limiting, Quotas, and Throttling.

Policies

Throttle Response
When requests exceed these limits the API Gateway returns a 429 Too Many Requests error response. Upon receiving such exceptions, you can resubmit failed requests in a rate-limited manner, complying with the API Gateway throttle limits. (verbatim from the 429 response)
Gateway Timeout
504 Gateway Timeout — the server is acting as a gateway and cannot get a response in time for a request. Wait about one minute then try again. (verbatim from the 504 response)
