Craft Cms Rate Limits

Craft CMS does not impose built-in rate limiting on its GraphQL API or Element API endpoints by default. Rate limiting is implemented at the infrastructure or plugin level. The official Rate Limit plugin for Craft CMS provides IP-based request throttling with a default threshold of 4000 requests per minute per IP address, returning HTTP 429 when exceeded. Self-hosted deployments can configure limits via server-level controls (nginx, Apache) or through the Rate Limit plugin.

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

It captures 2 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_minute and complexity_score.

The profile also includes response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include Rate Limiting, GraphQL, and CMS.
