Restaurant Brands Rate Limits

Restaurant Brands International's Partners API (Burger King's Partners API, served from rbictg.com) and Loyalty middleware are partner-scoped surfaces reached with credentials issued per environment, country, and brand. RBI's public developer documentation describes the request contract (bearer JWT for the Partners API; x-region, x-api-key, and x-user-datetime headers for the Loyalty middleware) but does not publish numeric request-rate, concurrency, or quota thresholds. Any throttling limits are governed by the bilateral partner agreement and the issued credential's scope, not a public per-key tier. Numbers below are recorded as descriptive strings and reconciled is false because RBI does not publish concrete figures.

varies

Policies

Credential scoping
Limits are bound to the issued credential, which is specific to an environment (Staging/Production), country/region, vendor, and brand.
Bilateral governance
Concrete throttling thresholds are defined in the partner onboarding agreement with RBI rather than in public documentation.
Retry guidance
Treat 429 responses as throttling signals and apply exponential backoff; RBI does not publish a Retry-After contract publicly.
