Rate Limits
Understand request limits and safe retry behavior.
KorClaw applies per-key request limits to protect platform reliability. Responses include X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Reset, and Retry-After when a request is throttled.
| Header | Meaning |
|---|---|
| X-RateLimit-Limit | Maximum requests in the current window. |
| X-RateLimit-Remaining | Requests remaining before throttling. |
| X-RateLimit-Reset | Unix timestamp when the window resets. |
| Retry-After | Seconds to wait after a 429 response. |
Retry strategy
Use exponential backoff with jitter. The official SDKs honor Retry-After automatically and retry transient network, 429, and 5xx failures within a bounded retry budget.
