Limits by tier, not by time.

ForceDream uses token bucket rate limiting. Limits scale automatically with your tier.

// Tiers

Rate limits by tier

Tier	Requests/min	Requests/day	Burst	Concurrent
Free	60	1,000	10	2
Starter	300	10,000	50	5
Pro	1,000	50,000	200	20
Scale	5,000	500,000	1,000	100
Enterprise	Unlimited	Unlimited	Custom	Custom

// Headers

Rate limit headers

Every response includes headers showing your current rate limit state.

Header	Description
`X-RateLimit-Limit`	Requests allowed per minute
`X-RateLimit-Remaining`	Requests remaining in current window
`X-RateLimit-Reset`	Unix timestamp when window resets
`Retry-After`	Seconds to wait if rate limited (429 responses only)

// Handling 429

Backoff strategy

    for attempt in range(max_retries):
        r = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)
        if r.status_code == 429:
            wait = int(r.headers.get("Retry-After", 2 ** attempt))
            time.sleep(wait)
            continue
        return r
    raise Exception("Rate limit exceeded after retries")

async function callWithBackoff(url, opts, maxRetries = 3) {
  for (let i = 0; i < maxRetries; i++) {
    const res = await fetch(url, opts);
    if (res.status === 429) {
      const wait = parseInt(res.headers.get("Retry-After") || 2 ** i);
      await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, wait * 1000));
      continue;
    }
    return res;
