Linode Rate Limits
Published Linode API v4 rate limits, applied per user by OAuth token, or by IP address for public operations.
Linode Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Linode on the APIs.io network, in the API Commons Rate Limits shape.
It captures 12 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_minute and requests_per_15s.
Limit state is signalled in the limit, remaining, reset, and retryAfter response headers, and an exhausted limit returns HTTP 429.
The profile also includes response codes documented for throttled.
Tagged areas include Rate Limiting and Cloud Compute.
