Flutterwave Rate Limits

Reconciled rate-limit and traffic-management posture for the Flutterwave for Business v4 API. Flutterwave does not publish a single global RPS ceiling; limits are dynamic per merchant tier, per endpoint, and are exposed via standard HTTP 429 responses with a `Retry-After` header. The platform handles 20M+ API calls per day in aggregate. The values below are conservative defaults that match observed sandbox behaviour and Flutterwave support guidance for production merchants.

Flutterwave Rate Limits is the rate-limit profile for Flutterwave on the APIs.io network.

The provider publishes no rate limits that could be read; the profile records that absence rather than inventing a ceiling.

Limit state is signalled in the retryAfter, idempotencyKey, and idempotencyCacheHit response headers, and an exhausted limit returns HTTP 429.

The profile also includes response codes documented for throttled, quotaExceeded, and serviceUnavailable.

Tagged areas include Rate Limiting, Quotas, and Payments.
