Pge Rate Limits

PG&E publishes its Share My Data API threshold limits openly on the third-party developer page — unusual for a US utility. Quoted by PG&E as being in place "due to finite system resources as well as to allow PG&E to reduce operational risks ... to ensure ongoing platform stability". Limits are scoped per vendor and per Client ID, and the daily window resets at 5 p.m. Pacific Time rather than at midnight UTC.

Pge Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Pacific Gas and Electric on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_second, requests_per_hour, and requests_per_day.

The profile also includes response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include Rate Limiting, Green Button, and Energy Data.
