Thanos · Rate Limits

Thanos Rate Limits

Thanos is self-hosted open-source software, not a hosted API service; query and ingest throughput are bounded only by the operator's deployment (compute, object storage backend, replication and downsampling settings). The Thanos project itself imposes no central rate limits.

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

It captures 1 rate-limit definition, measuring varies.

The profile also includes 1 backoff/retry policy defined.

Tagged areas include Rate Limiting, Observability, and Open Source.

Self-Hosted Capacity
Operators size Querier, Store Gateway, Compactor, and Receiver components and tune object storage to meet their workload; Thanos itself does not throttle externally.
