Drata Rate Limits

Drata publishes exactly one rate limit for the Public API v2 and it is stated verbatim in the help-centre API article: "A rate limit of 500 requests / minute will be enforced per unique source IP." Drata declares no RateLimit-* or X-RateLimit-* response headers in the OpenAPI document and documents none, so the only runtime signal an agent gets is the 429 status and a Retry-After header.

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

It captures 1 rate-limit definition, measuring requests.

The profile also includes 2 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include GRC, Compliance, Rate Limiting, Quotas, and Throttling.

Policies

Backoff strategy
Honour Retry-After when present, then exponential backoff with jitter. For bulk Custom Connection syncs prefer session-based batch uploads over per-record POSTs — the record endpoints are where the 500/min ceiling actually bites.
Source-IP allowlisting
Drata API keys support an optional allowed-IP list. That interacts directly with the per-source-IP limit: pinning a key to one egress IP also pins it to one 500/min budget.
