Postmark Rate Limits

Postmark publishes NO numeric API rate limit and NO rate-limit response headers. It documents that a 429 exists and that you should slow down, and it documents hard payload/recipient caps that behave like limits. The only numeric throttle Postmark states anywhere is a self-policed SMTP connection recommendation.

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

It captures 11 rate-limit definitions, measuring messages_per_request, recipients_per_message, bytes_per_message, bytes_per_request, and bytes_per_field.

The profile also includes response codes documented for throttled, throttledTitle, throttledMeaning, and payloadTooLarge.

Tagged areas include Rate Limiting and Email.
