# Default API Rate Limits

Organizations that send many requests quickly may see error responses as status code **429**.

Note that individual APIs may have their API Rate Limit and will be documented as such. Otherwise, the following default rate limits apply.

| **Method** | **Request Limit** | **Concurrency Limit** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| GET | 10 Requests per second | Not Applicable |
| POST | 10 Requests per second | Not Applicable |
| PUT | 10 Requests per second | Not Applicable |
| PATCH | 10 Requests per second | Not Applicable |
| DELETE | 10 Requests per second | Not Applicable |

See [Default Rate Limit](https://developer.gladly.com/rest/#section/Default-Rate-Limit) to view Reporting API limits and how limits are handled.

#### How to check check current API rate limit

The best way they can track current API limit/usage would be the moment you are using an API itself. Because the moment you’ve used an API, the remaining limit and their total limit is in the response headers.

```plaintext
  Ratelimit-Limit-Second
  Ratelimit-Remaining-Second
```

See [Rate Limits](https://developer.gladly.com/rest/#section/Handling-Rate-Limit) to learn more.

In Postman you would see it in the headers tab, if they are using anything else other than Postman, then they should still see it in the response headers of the tool they are using

Report-wise, it would be to track your own API calls and compile it and work on the timeframes if you are hitting the default 10 API calls per second.
