Heroku Rate Limits

Heroku Platform API rate limits per token.

Heroku Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Heroku on the APIs.io network, in the API Commons Rate Limits shape.

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_hour and concurrent_builds.

Limit state is signalled in the remaining response header, and an exhausted limit returns HTTP 429.

This profile was written by API Evangelist and has not been verified against a page the provider published; treat every limit as unconfirmed until a dated transcription replaces it.

The profile also includes response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include Rate Limiting and Hosting.
