Warrant Dev Rate Limits

Warrant did not publish fixed numeric per-endpoint rate limits for its hosted API. As a real-time authorization service, the check endpoint (POST /v2/authorize) was designed for high-volume, low-latency traffic on the application hot path; sustained throughput was governed by plan and fair-use rather than a documented per-minute request cap. On the open-source self-hosted server (github.com/warrant-dev/warrant, default port 8000), throughput is bounded only by your own infrastructure and datastore (MySQL, Postgres, or SQLite), with no vendor-imposed limit. RETIRED - the hosted service was sunset 2025-11-15; any current limits are governed by WorkOS FGA.

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

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests.

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

Tagged areas include Access Control, Authorization, Fine-Grained Authorization, Rate Limiting, and Quotas.

Limits

Authorization Check Requests account
requests
not published
The /v2/authorize hot-path check had no documented fixed numeric rate limit; governed by plan and fair-use. RETIRED.
Management API Requests account
requests
not published
No fixed numeric request-rate limit was documented for the v1 management endpoints (objects, warrants, object-types, roles/permissions). RETIRED.
Self-Hosted Throughput deployment

hardware-bound
The open-source server (port 8000) is bounded only by your own infrastructure and backing datastore, not by Warrant.

Policies

Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After on 429 responses.
Local Enforcement
SDKs supported client-side caching / local decision paths to reduce check-endpoint load for latency-sensitive hot paths.
