Tally · Rate Limits

Tally Rate Limits

Tally REST API requests are throttled per API key. Tally publishes that the API is free across all plans (no per-call charge) but does not enumerate a specific per-second numeric ceiling on the public reference. 429 with Retry-After is returned when the throttle is exceeded.

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

It captures 2 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests and submissions/month.

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

Tagged areas include Forms, Surveys, No-Code, Free, and Notion-style.

Policies

Backoff Strategy
Honor Retry-After on 429; use exponential backoff with jitter.
Webhook over polling
Use webhooks for new-submission delivery rather than polling /forms/{id}/submissions.
