Mercado Pago Rate Limits

Rate-limit model for the Mercado Pago API surface. Mercado Pago does not publish a single hard, public rate-limit number for its REST APIs — limits are applied per access token, per IP, and per endpoint, and can be increased on request for high-volume merchants. The values below capture the documented behaviour: token-scoped throttling, HTTP 429 on exceedance with Retry-After, and standard rate-limit response headers.

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

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, across the default, high-volume, and search-endpoints tiers, measuring requests_per_second and requests_per_minute.

The profile also includes response codes documented for throttled, quotaExceeded, and serviceUnavailable.

Tagged areas include Payments, Checkout, Subscriptions, PIX, and Rate Limiting.
