Rate Limits & Metering

ICDC enforces per‑token limits and records usage for billing, analytics, and governance.

Rate limits

Section titled “Rate limits”
  • Limits are applied per token and data source.
  • Responses may include HTTP 429 when limits are exceeded.
  • Backoff with jitter when retrying (see Error Handling).

Metering

Section titled “Metering”
  • Requests are counted and attributed to your Organization and token.
  • Usage appears in the Developer Portal dashboards.
  • Vendor‑specific billing models (seat, metered, bulk) are normalized by ICDC.

Headers (if exposed)

Section titled “Headers (if exposed)”
  • X-RateLimit-Remaining: remaining quota for the window
  • X-RateLimit-Reset: reset timestamp or seconds until reset

These headers may vary by data source. Always handle absence gracefully.
