Rate Limits can be tested on the Sandbox server using specific triggers to receive an example of what exceeding the rate limits looks like.
Rate Limits
All API and Portal request types are subject to rate-limiting. See current Rate Limits for Sandbox and Production server requests:
Rate Limit |
|---|
...
1000 requests in 10 seconds |
|---|
...
Temporary Block |
...
Period | 10 seconds |
Rate limits are relative to the endpoint or Portal resource where the rate limit was exceeded and do not prohibit requests from being made to other endpoints or Portal resources.
For example, if a violation occurs from a Merchant using the Create Payment page (or /txns API endpoint), it will not prohibit communication on the Users page (or /logins API endpoint) during the 10-second violation block period.
