# Rate limit

Your rate limit for **synchronous requests** will depend on your plan.

| Plan         | Sync Rate Limit         |
| ------------ | ----------------------- |
| **Starter**  | 60 requests per minute  |
| **Business** | 240 requests per minute |
| **Scale**    | 360 requests per minute |

**Asynchronous requests** have a higher rate limit of **1.000 request per minute for both plans**.

**Batch requests** (`/batch` endpoints) have a rate limit of **50 requests per minute for both plans**. Since each batch request can contain up to 20 items, this still allows generating up to 1.000 PDFs per minute.

After that, you'll hit the rate limit and receive a `429` response error code.

To prevent this, we recommend reducing the rate at which you request the API. This can be done by introducing a queue mechanism or reducing the number of concurrent requests per second. If you have specific requirements, [contact support](mailto:support@pdforge.com) to request a rate increase.
