# Rate limits

> Request budgets, rate-limit responses, and backoff for the Shor public API.

Limits currently allow 600 reads and 60 writes per principal per minute, with a shared workspace ceiling of 2,000 requests per minute. Failed-auth admission has a separate limit. Responses include rate-limit headers.

A 429 response means the request was rate limited. Honor `Retry-After` before trying again. For writes, retain the same intent key and payload. See [Idempotency and retries](/developers/idempotency) and [API errors](/developers/errors).
