# Rate limits

> Learn about Dock's API rate limits.

Dock API rate limiting is in conformance with the [IETF standard](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-httpapi-ratelimit-headers):

| Header Name             | Description                                                                     |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `X-RateLimit-Limit`     | The maximum number of requests that the consumer is permitted to make per hour. |
| `X-RateLimit-Remaining` | The number of requests remaining in the current rate limit window.              |
| `X-RateLimit-Reset`     | The time at which the current rate limit window resets in UTC epoch seconds.    |
| `Retry-After`           | The number of seconds to wait before retrying the request again.                |

Dock's API is capped at **120 requests per minute** per company except for the following endpoints:

* [`POST /v1/workspaces` (30 requests per minute)](api-reference/endpoint/workspaces/create-a-workspace)
* [`GET /v1/files/{id}` (60 requests per minute)](api-reference/endpoint/files/retrieve-a-file)

This is implemented to ensure a fair usage policy so that excessive use by a single user does not adversely affect the performance and usage of the API by others.

You'll receive a `429 Too Many Requests` response code if the rate limit is exceeded.
