Hi everyone,

I'm currently integrating Skysite's API into our internal project management tool and ran into some concerns regarding API rate limits. The documentation briefly mentions usage restrictions, but I haven't found any detailed breakdown on what the actual limits are (requests per minute/hour/day), or how the system responds when you go over them.

Before I start building in error handling and retries, I was hoping someone here could share:

What are the current rate limits imposed by the Skysite API?

Does the API return specific status codes or headers (like Retry-After) when throttling is triggered?

Are there any best practices or patterns (exponential backoff, queueing, token buckets, etc.) that have worked well for you in Skysite environments?

Any real-world experiences or tips would be greatly appreciated! I’d like to build something robust from the start, rather than having to rework things later if we hit a ceiling unexpectedly.

Thanks in advance!
