Rate Limits
Fair-use limits on the Factory OS API.
The API enforces per-user and per-organization rate limits to protect the platform.
Default limits
| Scope | Limit |
|---|---|
| Authenticated requests | 600 req / min / user |
| Telemetry ingest | 5,000 samples / sec / factory |
| Bulk write endpoints | 30 req / min / user |
Headers
Every response includes:
X-RateLimit-Limit: 600
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 589
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1729267200When you hit the limit
You get a 429 Too Many Requests with a Retry-After header (seconds). Back off and retry.
Pagination
List endpoints return at most 100 items per page. Use ?limit= and ?offset= (or ?cursor= on timeseries endpoints) to page:
GET /api/factories/biocare-main/machines?limit=50&offset=0If you need higher limits for a legitimate integration, contact support@xentr.ai.
