# Rate limits

To ensure fair usage and platform stability, Bitpanda Fusion applies rate limits to API requests.

Rate limits are enforced **per Bitpanda user account**, regardless of how many API keys or applications you use.

If a limit is exceeded, the API returns:

```http
429 Too Many Requests
```

Wait before retrying the request. Repeatedly exceeding the limits may result in temporary throttling.

## Limits

| Limit | Value |
| ------ | -----:|
| Global API limit | 1000 requests per minute |
| Market data endpoints | 240 requests per minute |
| Create order endpoint | 300 requests per minute |

The global limit applies to all requests made by your Bitpanda user account.

Endpoint-specific limits are enforced in addition to the global limit. For example, requests to market data endpoints count toward both the market data limit and the global API limit.
