Kombo · Rate Limits

Kombo Rate Limits

Kombo markets unlimited API calls and data volume on every plan. The public docs do not enumerate per-second / per-minute throttling thresholds for Kombo's own API; rate limits are typically inherited from the underlying connected HRIS / ATS / LMS systems and surfaced via job/sync status rather than per-call 429s.

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

It captures 2 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_minute and varies.

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

Tagged areas include Rate Limiting, HRIS, Unified API, and HR Tech.

Policies

Sync orchestration
Kombo manages polling and webhook processing against upstream HRIS systems; consumers should treat Kombo as eventually consistent and react to webhook deltas rather than poll.
Backoff
On 429/5xx from Kombo, retry with exponential backoff and jitter; honor Retry-After.
Upstream-aware throttling
When the source HR system (Workday, SAP, BambooHR, etc.) returns a rate-limit signal, Kombo surfaces it via sync errors; resolve by increasing the source system quota rather than retrying against Kombo.
