Reqkey Rate Limits

What ReqKey enforces on ITS OWN API. ReqKey advertises "no rate limits on any plan" for the metered request surface (/key/validate and /ingest) — the meter is a monthly request allowance, not a per-second cap, and crossing the allowance does not hard-stop traffic. The analytics endpoints are the one exception: they are rate-limited per customer, though ReqKey does not publish the numeric limit. Consumer-level rate limits configured through /consumer/create are a PRODUCT FEATURE ReqKey offers its customers for their own APIs, not a limit on the ReqKey API; they are recorded separately below so the two are never conflated.

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

It captures 6 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_month, keys, and requests.

The profile also includes response codes documented for throttled and quotaExceeded.

Tagged areas include Rate Limiting, API Management, and Usage Metering.
