# Rate Limits

> Per-plan request rate limits for the Law4Devs API.

## Rate Limits by Plan

| Plan   | Req/min | Req/day | Monthly cap | Max per\_page |
| ------ | ------- | ------- | ----------- | ------------- |
| Growth | 10      | 500     | 10,000      | 10            |
| Pro    | 30      | 5,000   | 100,000     | 25            |
| Scale  | 100     | 50,000  | Unlimited   | 50            |
| Custom | Custom  | Custom  | Unlimited   | 100           |

When you exceed the rate limit, the API returns **HTTP 429**:

```json theme={null}
{
  "error": {
    "code": "RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED",
    "message": "Too many requests."
  }
}
```

All SDKs automatically retry on 429 with exponential backoff (up to 3 retries by default). You can control this with `max_retries` / `maxRetries`:
