Paddle Rate Limits

The Paddle API enforces per-IP-address rate limits. Most endpoints allow up to 240 requests per minute. Pricing-preview endpoints (preview transaction and preview prices) allow a higher 1,000 requests per minute. Subscription immediate (one-time) charges are additionally constrained per subscription to 20 chargeable updates per hour and 100 per 24-hour period. When a limit is exceeded Paddle returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header indicating how long to wait before retrying.

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests.
