Limits

Early access

raw.computer is in early access. Accounts, the console, API keys, members, the wallet, budgets, usage and the API work today. No cell (a group of our hosts that runs sandboxes) is open to customers yet, so every POST /v1/sandboxes answers 503 capacity_unavailable, whatever on_full says. Nothing is queued for capacity that does not exist, and nothing is billed. Creates open when the first cell does; the same request will then start a sandbox or queue it with an ETA. Limits on concurrent sandboxes, the trial and spending are published here before cells open.

Rate limits

What Counted per Limit
Every /v1 request API key 200 requests in 10 seconds
Signing up IP address 10 attempts in 60 seconds
Signing in IP address 10 attempts in 60 seconds
A password reset (asking and setting) IP address 10 attempts in 60 seconds
A new verification link IP address 10 attempts in 60 seconds
Starting a sign-in of the CLI (POST /v1/device/code) IP address 10 attempts in 60 seconds
Polling a sign-in of the CLI (POST /v1/device/token) IP address 200 requests in 10 seconds
Sending an invitation (POST /v1/invitations and the console's Members page together) workspace 10 invitations in 60 seconds

A request over a limit answers 429 rate_limited in the one error shape, with a Retry-After header (seconds) and error.retry_at (the same moment, RFC 3339). Wait that long and send the same request again; an Idempotency-Key holds nothing for a 429, so the same key is right. The limits are generous on purpose: an agent that polls a sandbox every second, or runs a few hundred calls in a burst, never meets them. The one that is tight is the invitations', because each one mails a person who did not ask for it: an agent that invites a team sends as many as the limit allows, waits Retry-After, and goes on.

The counts are kept by each Cloudflare location on its own and are approximate: a key used from two places at once is counted twice as loosely, and a count may run a little past its limit before it answers 429. They are a ceiling against floods, not a meter to plan against. Need more? Use several keys, or tell us.

Budgets

An org can set a monthly cap, and each workspace one of its own, with alerts at shares of it. A start that the wallet or a cap cannot pay for answers insufficient_funds; any key reads where its workspace stands with GET /v1/workspaces/{id}/budget.
