# Rate Limiting

Access to the NAM API is subject to rate limiting. Design clients for ≤100 requests/minute per bearer token.

If you violate the rate limit, the API returns an `HTTP 429 Too Many Requests error code`. In this case, we recommend a few options:

* Retry the request after a brief backoff if it's a one off
* Implement techniques such as [exponential backoff and jitter](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/architecture/exponential-backoff-and-jitter/) for API calls that are expected to be frequent
