Sumup Rate Limits

SumUp enforces rate limits on its REST API to ensure fair usage and platform stability. When limits are exceeded the API returns HTTP 429 Too Many Requests. Developers should implement exponential backoff when handling 429 responses. Specific numeric thresholds are not publicly documented.

Sumup Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for SumUp on the APIs.io network, in the API Commons Rate Limits shape.

It captures 1 rate-limit definition.

Limit state is signalled in the Authorization response header.
