What it is
Rate limiting caps how many requests a caller may make in a time window, protecting the service from overload and abuse. It is defence-in-depth, not a reliability gate — legitimate low-volume callers never notice it.
On the Credicorp public ring
The public ring uses a fixed-window counter of 60 requests per 60 seconds per IP, per route. Exceed it and further requests return 429 Too Many Requests with a Retry-After header giving the seconds until the window resets. The internal ring is far higher (around 600/60 s per actor). See the rate-limit reference.
Frequently asked questions
What happens when I exceed the limit?
You get a 429 with a Retry-After header. Wait that many seconds, then retry. Nothing was processed.
