PayMongo · Rate Limits

Paymongo Rate Limits

PayMongo enforces a global request-rate cap on the REST API. Per the developer documentation, if the request rate exceeds 100 requests per second (6,000 per minute) requests are blocked; the block is automatically lifted within the next minute once the rate returns to normal. Throttled requests return HTTP 429 Too Many Requests. PayMongo recommends idempotency keys on create calls so retries after a 429 do not double-charge.

Paymongo Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for PayMongo on the APIs.io network, in the API Commons Rate Limits shape.

It captures 2 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests.

An exhausted limit returns HTTP 429.

This profile was written by API Evangelist and has not been verified against a page the provider published; treat every limit as unconfirmed until a dated transcription replaces it.

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

Tagged areas include Payments, FinTech, Philippines, Rate Limiting, and Quotas.

Limits

Requests Per Second account
requests · per 1s
100/1s
Exceeding this blocks requests until the rate normalizes (auto-lifted within the next minute).
Requests Per Minute account
requests · per 60s
6000/60s
Equivalent per-minute expression of the 100 req/s cap.

Policies

Automatic Unblock
Blocks are automatically lifted within the following minute once the request rate drops back below the threshold.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter on HTTP 429 responses.
Idempotency
Send an idempotency key on create requests so that safe retries after a 429 or network failure do not create duplicate charges.
