# Rate limits

> Learn about API rate limits and how to work with them.

The Infinite Creator API uses a number of safeguards against bursts of incoming traffic to help maximize its stability. If you send many requests in quick succession, you might see error responses with status code 429.

## Handling 429 responses

Watch for 429 status codes and retry with exponential backoff. Add jitter to the backoff schedule so concurrent workers do not retry at the same time.

## Load testing

Build integrations so they can mock requests to the Infinite Creator API during load tests. For realistic results, simulate latency by sampling durations from real API calls as observed by your integration.
