Softr Rate Limits

The Softr Database API enforces per-token rate limits: read operations (GET and POST /search) are limited to 40 requests/second and write operations (POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE) to 30 requests/second. Exceeding a limit returns HTTP 429. Published-app subscription allowances (app users, Softr Database records, AI credits, Workflow actions) act as plan-level quotas. Per-second limits for the Users Management API are not separately documented.

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

It captures 6 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests, records, users, and actions.

The profile also includes 2 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include No Code, App Builder, Database, User Management, and Rate Limiting.

Backoff Strategy
