Esri Arcgis Rate Limits

ArcGIS Location Platform and ArcGIS Online enforce service-specific request and concurrency limits. Most consumption is governed by the monthly free-tier ceilings (e.g. 2M tiles, 20K geocodes, 20K routes) above which usage is billed; per-second/per-minute throttle numbers are not centrally published and vary per service. Enterprise customers can negotiate higher limits.

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

It captures 7 rate-limit definitions, measuring tiles_per_month, geocodes_per_month, routes_per_month, points_per_month, and requests_per_month.

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

Tagged areas include Rate Limiting, GIS, Location Services, and Mapping.

Policies

API-key scoping
Quotas and metering are tracked per API key; rotate or scope keys per application to isolate consumption.
Soft caps via monthly free tiers
Inclusion ceilings are soft — exceeding them flips usage from free to per-1,000 billed rather than blocking; absolute hard caps require contact-sales agreements.
ArcGIS Online credits
Credit-based services (geocoding, routing, analysis from ArcGIS Online) deplete the annual user-bundled credits before incurring credit-block top-ups.
