Introducing Supporter Rate Limits
· 6 min read
Back when we added Open Collective support in December 2024, I mentioned that a paid tier for a higher API rate limit wasn't something I was planning on — but that it might be worth revisiting someday if there was enough demand. Then in March we had to cut the daily limit from 10,000 to 5,000 requests due to server load, with a promise to look at restoring it if donations picked up. Well, someday is here: donors to the project now automatically get an elevated daily API rate limit, no paid subscription plan required — just a donation through Open Collective.
