Eliq Rate Limits

Eliq's published API usage ceilings, transcribed from the Eliq API Guidelines. THIS FILE REPLACES a 2026-05-04 scaffold whose tier limits (10/100/1000 rpm, 1k/100k monthly quotas) were invented by an API Evangelist bulk sweep and were never published by Eliq.

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

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_minute, requests_per_second, and bytes.

The profile also includes 6 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled, quotaExceeded, and note.

Tagged areas include Energy, Utilities, Analytics, Rate Limiting, and Quotas.

Policies

Batch over singleton
Batch endpoints (/jobs) MUST be used instead of multiple single requests when loading data via the Data Management API in production.
Backoff on 5xx
Exponential backoff MUST be applied on 5xx. Blind retries of failing or malformed requests are a documented violation; 4xx MUST be corrected before retrying.
Cache static data
Static or infrequently changing data (user/location metadata) should be cached for at least 24 hours.
Health checks
Availability checks should use /health or /heartbeat (Insights: GET /v3/health/heart_beat (get-v3-heartbeat)), never functional endpoints like GET /user or GET /location.
Client timeout
Client-side timeouts must be set; 30 seconds is the suggested value for standard API calls.
Enforcement
Eliq monitors usage and contacts the client. Escalation path: operational surcharges, temporary access restrictions, termination of the service agreement (last resort).
