OpenStatus · Rate Limits

Openstatus Rate Limits

OpenStatus Cloud governs usage primarily through per-plan resource limits rather than published per-second REST throttles. The dominant constraints are the number of monitors, the minimum check frequency (periodicity), the number of status pages and components, the available regions, and data retention, all of which scale by subscription tier. The on-demand /check endpoint is intended for ad-hoc use and is subject to fair-use limits. Self-hosted deployments under AGPL-3.0 are bounded only by the operator's own infrastructure.

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

It captures 6 rate-limit definitions, measuring monitors, interval, pages, regions, and months.

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

Tagged areas include Monitoring, Synthetic Monitoring, Uptime, Status Pages, and Rate Limiting.

Policies

Plan-Based Limits
Quotas raise as workspaces move from Hobby to Starter, Pro, Scale, and Enterprise.
Self-Hosting
Self-hosted AGPL-3.0 deployments set their own limits, bounded by operator infrastructure.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After on 429 responses.
