REST API rate limiting?

Hi there!

We’ve recently been seeing really slow response times for the GET file endpoint. In particular, we’re noticing really slow responses in production environment but faster ones in our staging and local environments.

Not sure if we’re being rate-limited, or there’s another issue? Would love to hear if other folks are experiencing this.

Thanks in advance!
Jo

The rate limit is about 10 requests per minute but the response wouldn’t be slow — it would be an error if you go over this limit, as far as I know.

Hi @Gleb, thanks for your fast response!

So I also saw that article, but what made me concerned was this part at the very end:

Hey @Jolena_Ma & @Gleb, I have an open source program named Tkinter Designer which has been facing similar issues.

Since two days the responses are slow and mostly failing.
It only works 2 of 5 times.

Many times the status code is 504. Which won’t return anything back from my understanding.

But even with status code 200 the JSON is not correct. User’s are getting JSON Decode error while reading the returned JSON.

Someone else had a similar problem today, it may be an API issue, reach out to support: Submit a request – Figma

I guess it’s fixed. It’s working now.

Also submitted a request.
