Crowdstrike Rate Limits

CrowdStrike Falcon signals rate limiting on every response with X-Ratelimit-Limit and X-Ratelimit-Remaining, and returns HTTP 429 on exhaustion — 429 is a documented response on operations across the reference including POST /oauth2/token. The numeric ceiling is NOT published in prose anywhere on the public developer surface, but it is observable: an unauthenticated caller is served X-Ratelimit-Limit: 300 with a decrementing X-Ratelimit-Remaining on api.crowdstrike.com. Per-tenant and per-collection ceilings are stated only inside the authenticated Falcon console.

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 requests and varies.

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 reuse
Tokens are issued by POST /oauth2/token and expire after 30 minutes; cache and reuse until expiry rather than minting per request.
Backoff on 429
No Retry-After is returned, so exponential backoff with jitter is the only available strategy; read X-Ratelimit-Remaining to back off before exhaustion.
Pagination over polling
Use offset/limit (meta.pagination.total) on listing endpoints rather than tight polling loops.
Stream instead of poll
For continuous change, subscribe to the Event Streams datafeed rather than repeatedly querying — see asyncapi/crowdstrike-event-streams.yml.
