Stripe Rate Limits is the rate-limit profile for Stripe on the APIs.io network — every limit transcribed verbatim from the provider’s own documentation on 2026-09-20.

It captures 16 rate-limit definitions, including Global API rate limit (live mode) — Live mode : 100 requests per second; Global API rate limit (sandbox) — Sandbox : 25 requests per second; Individual API endpoints — 25 requests per second.

Limit state is signalled in the Stripe-Rate-Limited-Reason response header, and an exhausted limit returns HTTP 429.
