Talkjs Rate Limits

The TalkJS REST API enforces a burst allowance and a sustained per-second request rate per application. The batch endpoint is limited separately to one batch per second. List endpoints cap page sizes per resource and paginate via a startingAfter cursor. Requests exceeding the limits are throttled and clients should back off and retry.
