Documenso Rate Limits

The Documenso public API enforces per-token rate limits on requests. Limits apply per API token and vary by plan; the Free tier additionally caps usage at 5 documents per month with up to 10 recipients per document. Self-hosted deployments can configure their own limits. Specific per-endpoint request ceilings are not reconciled in this artifact.

Policies

Tiered Limits
Quotas and API access expand from Free to Individual, Teams, and Platform plans; self-hosting removes vendor caps.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After on HTTP 429 responses.
