Jitsu Rate Limits

Jitsu does not publish fixed numeric request-per-second rate limits for its HTTP event ingestion API. For self-hosted (MIT) deployments, throughput is bounded only by the infrastructure you provision for the Ingest service and downstream Bulker/destinations. For Jitsu Cloud, the practical limit is the monthly active-event volume of your plan (200k on Free, 2M on Business, then metered overage); the bulk endpoint can accept on the order of tens of thousands of events in a single request. Specific per-account throttling values are not documented in a public artifact.

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

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring events and syncs.

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

Tagged areas include Event Data, CDP, Data Pipeline, Open Source, and Rate Limiting.

Limits

Active Events Per Month (Cloud) account
events
plan-based (200k Free / 2M Business / custom Enterprise)
Only events that reach at least one destination count; filtered events are free.
Bulk Request Size request
events
~50,000 events per bulk HTTP request
Approximate per-request capacity for POST /api/s/bulk archive uploads.
Ingestion Throughput (Self-Hosted) deployment
events
bounded by provisioned infrastructure
No fixed limit; scale the Ingest service and destinations to your needs.
Connector Syncs account
syncs
plan-based (1/day Free / 5/month Business / unlimited Enterprise)
Applies to managed connector source syncs, not event ingestion.

Policies

Plan-Based Volume
Cloud ingestion is governed by monthly active-event volume rather than fixed RPS limits.
Filtering To Reduce Volume
Use Functions to drop unwanted events before they count as active/billable.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor 429 / Retry-After responses.
