Mendable Rate Limits

Mendable meters API usage primarily through a monthly message-credit allotment that varies by plan, where each chat answer consumes credits based on the model used. Beyond the message-credit quota, Mendable does not publish explicit per-second / per-minute request rate limits in its public API documentation; ingestion has documented payload limits (up to 500 raw documents and 2MB per ingestDocuments request). Specific request-rate values are not reconciled in this artifact.

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

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring messages, documents, bytes, and requests.

The profile also includes 2 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include AI, Answers, Enterprise Search, RAG, and Support.

Credit-Based Quota

Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After on 429 responses.
