Convoy Rate Limits

Convoy applies rate limits in two places. First, at the platform tier, the managed Convoy Cloud Pro plan caps event delivery at 25 events/second (Enterprise is custom). Second, per-endpoint rate limits can be configured by the customer through the Endpoint resource (count + duration window) and are enforced by the delivery worker before issuing the outbound HTTP call. Inbound API request rate limits to the Convoy management API itself are not publicly documented as fixed values.

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

It captures 2 rate-limit definitions.

The profile also includes 6 backoff/retry policies defined.

Tagged areas include Webhooks, Rate Limits, and Webhook Gateway.

Policies

Convoy Cloud Pro — Event Delivery Rate
"25 events/second" — the documented per-account rate ceiling on the Pro plan. Excess delivery work queues for subsequent windows rather than failing.
Convoy Cloud Enterprise — Event Delivery Rate
"Custom" — Enterprise customers negotiate event-throughput targets and bursting allowances directly with Convoy.
Per-Endpoint Rate Limit
Each Convoy Endpoint resource carries `rate_limit` (count) and `rate_limit_duration` (seconds) fields. The delivery worker throttles attempts against the endpoint to the configured count per window.
Per-Subscription Rate Limit
Subscriptions expose a `rate_limit_config` block (count + duration) that further constrains fan-out throughput along that subscription's path.
Retry Cadence (Effective Rate Control)
Convoy retries failed deliveries using either linear (constant-time, default 1 hour) or exponential backoff with ±10% jitter (formula `min(delaySeconds * 2^attempt, maxRetrySeconds) + jitter`, default cap 7200 seconds). Default retry limit is 20 attempts.
Convoy Management API Rate Limit
Convoy does not publicly document a fixed rate limit on its management API surface. Self-hosted operators set their own; Cloud limits are governed by the platform tier above.
