Rate Limits

The Flow public community access nodes enforce per-IP rate limits on both the gRPC and REST APIs separately. Limits specify the maximum number of requests per second (RPS) a unique client IP can make to any particular API endpoint. When a limit is exceeded the API returns a ResourceExhausted error. Developers should handle this error gracefully and consider exponential backoff or migrating to a private access node or third-party provider for production workloads.
