Oanda Rate Limits

Policies

Persistent connections preferred
Use HTTP persistent (keep-alive) connections to reduce per-request latency and avoid triggering the new connection rate throttle.
Account state sync pattern
Initialise with a full account snapshot via GET /v3/accounts/{accountID}, then poll GET /v3/accounts/{accountID}/changes with the last TransactionID to receive only incremental updates.
Streaming connection management
Open streaming connections sparingly; reconnect with exponential backoff on disconnect. Do not exceed 20 aggregate streaming connections per account.
Backoff on errors
Implement exponential backoff when receiving rate limit or server error responses to avoid sustained throttling.
