Vgs Rate Limits

VGS does not publish a single fixed numeric rate-limit table for the Vault and Accounts APIs. Throughput is governed by plan, vault tier, and the consumption-based interaction model, and high-throughput needs are arranged with VGS. Clients should expect throttling under burst load and handle 429 responses with backoff. Specific per-endpoint limits are not reconciled in this artifact.

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

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests and interactions.

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

Tagged areas include Security, Tokenization, Data Privacy, PCI Compliance, and Vault.
