Pendle Rate Limits

Pendle V2 API enforces rate limits using a Computing Unit (CU) model. Each endpoint has a fixed or dynamic CU cost. Free accounts are capped at 100 CU/minute and 200,000 CU/week. Paid plans scale from 500 CU/min (Starter, $10/week) up to 2,000 CU/min (Scale, $40/week). The Hosted SDK convert endpoint has dynamic costs based on which aggregators are invoked. Custom aggregator API keys passed via request headers reduce that aggregator's CU cost to zero. Rate limit headers are returned on every response; throttled requests return HTTP 429.

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

It captures 8 rate-limit definitions, measuring computing_units_per_minute and computing_units_per_week.

Limit state is signalled in the X-Computing-Unit, X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset response headers, and 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 5 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include DeFi, Yield Tokenization, Crypto, and Rate Limiting.

Policies

Exponential Backoff
On 429 responses, apply exponential backoff with jitter. Do not poll at fixed intervals.
HTTP Timeouts
Set client HTTP timeout to at least 120 seconds; Hosted SDK convert calls can take several seconds when routing through multiple aggregators.
Pagination
For large datasets use skip/limit parameters and resumeToken. Default page size is 10; maximum is 100. Avoid fetching all pages in rapid succession.
Custom Aggregator Keys
Pass KYBERSWAP-API-KEY, ODOS-API-KEY, OKX-API-KEY, or PARASWAP-API-KEY headers to reduce that aggregator's CU cost to zero.
No Hardcoded Limits
Pendle advises against hardcoding rate limits in client code as limits may change without notice; read limits from response headers dynamically.
