How does rate limiting work at Captain Data?
Rate limiting is a way of limiting the number of requests one can do on the platform, according to its subscription plan.
We apply a rate limitation according to the number of inputs you launch in parallel.
Few examples based on a rate limit of 100 inputs in parallel:
- Launching 100 workflows with 1 input each is acceptable. However, attempting to launch the 101st workflow will be rate-limited, and it will be queued for execution in the next few minutes.
- If you launch a single workflow with 5000 inputs, you won't be rate-limited because batch processing is already applied.
- Launching 20 workflows, each with 5 inputs, will reach the limit of 100 inputs in parallel. To exceed this, you'll need to launch an additional workflow.
Rate limiting per plan
- AppSumo, Pro, Lunar, Mars plans
Limited to 100 inputs launched in parallel.
- Scale & Growth plan
Limited to 5000 inputs launched in parallel.
- Enterprise plan
No rate limitations apply.
API usage
If you launch workflows via API, you will get a 429 error if you reach your rate limit. The jobs won't be queued automatically, you will need to handle this error on your side.
