API Rate Limit

Founder at Agentmelt · Last updated Sep 9, 2026

A cap on how many requests an application can make to an API within a given time window (e.g. 100 requests per minute). AI agents that call external APIs (CRMs, LLMs, databases) must respect rate limits to avoid errors and service disruptions. Proper rate-limit handling is essential for agents operating at scale.

See it as a workflow

Automated Code Review Workflow

Trigger, steps, n8n nodes, guardrails and an importable template — plus what it costs to have it built.

Or skip the build

Workflows from $197/month, custom agents from $2,000.
