# RATE_LIMITED

> Too many requests: you're over a per-minute or daily limit.

`429 Too Many Requests` · type `rate_limit`

**When it happens**

The key went over 60 requests a minute, or `POST /v1/quotes` went over 500 quotes a day for the key or 2,000 a day for your agency. Every authenticated request counts, including ones that fail validation.

**What to do**

Wait the number of seconds in `Retry-After`, then retry with the same `Idempotency-Key`. For a daily limit, that's until midnight UTC. See [rate limits](/guides/rate-limits).

## Example

```http Headers theme={null}
Retry-After: 18
```

```json 429 Too Many Requests theme={null}
{
  "error": {
    "type": "rate_limit",
    "code": "RATE_LIMITED",
    "message": "Too many requests. Retry after the time in the Retry-After header.",
    "doc_url": "https://docs.bridgelinepf.com/errors#RATE_LIMITED",
    "request_id": "req_8fJ2kQ9xLm4TzW7nB3cY5pDv"
  }
}
```
