Policies
Backoff Strategy
Apply exponential backoff with jitter on 429 responses; respect any Retry-After header when present.
Soft vs Hard Limits
The 500K monthly Logo API allowance is soft (fair-use); per-IP and per-customer 5-minute throughput windows are hard limits.
Caching
Cache logo and brand responses aggressively client-side to stay inside the 5-minute throughput windows; Enterprise plans negotiate custom cache TTLs.
Capacity Increase
Higher monthly volumes and SLAs require an Enterprise plan negotiated with Brandfetch.
