Crowdstrike Rate Limits

CrowdStrike Falcon OAuth2 APIs are rate-limited per-client and per-endpoint. Specific numeric limits are not published publicly; they vary by API surface (Detects, Hosts, Real-Time Response, Spotlight, etc.) and are documented in the authenticated Falcon developer portal. Throttling is signaled with HTTP 429 plus rate-limit headers; clients are expected to honor Retry-After.

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

It captures 2 rate-limit definitions, measuring varies and concurrent_requests.

The profile also includes 4 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled, quotaExceeded, and serviceUnavailable.

Tagged areas include Cybersecurity, Endpoint Security, Rate Limiting, Quotas, and Throttling.

Policies

OAuth2 token refresh
Tokens are issued via OAuth2 client credentials and expire after 30 minutes; cache and reuse tokens until expiry rather than minting per-request.
Backoff Strategy
On HTTP 429, honor X-Ratelimit-Retryafter (epoch seconds) and apply exponential backoff with jitter for retried calls.
Per-API surface limits
Limits are scoped per API (Detects, Hosts, RTR, Spotlight, IOC, etc.) rather than globally; a 429 on one surface does not throttle others.
Pagination over polling
Use offset/limit or after/before pagination on listing endpoints rather than tight polling loops to stay within rate caps.
