Limits

The following rate limits apply to any API-key or OAuth API call. All rate limits are mutually exclusive.

The limits are introduced on a user level. Calls for all POST, PATCH, GET, PUT, and DELETE requests are counted.

PandaDoc API returns 429 Too Many Requests error when you exceed the limit of requests. If you hit the limit whenever possible, please queue API calls on your side. This should help to prevent getting 429 errors and resend API calls after the retry timer.

PandaDoc reserves the right to modify these limits as needed to protect the integrity of the PandaDoc Platform.
