Edi 214 Rate Limits

EDI 214 is a standard, not a single API; rate limits depend on the vendor moving the document (VAN, EDI-as-a-Service platform, carrier portal). Stedi, Flexport, and SPS Commerce each enforce their own throttles on REST endpoints used to submit and retrieve 214 documents.

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, measuring varies.

The profile also includes 3 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled and serviceUnavailable.

Policies

Vendor-specific throttling
Each EDI 214 implementer enforces its own throttle; consult the vendor's developer documentation.
Backoff
Implement exponential backoff with jitter; honor Retry-After when present.
VAN store-and-forward
VAN-based delivery is asynchronous; treat 214 transmission as eventual rather than synchronous.
