Autodesk Rate Limits
Autodesk Platform Services (APS) APIs are rate-limited per-application and per-token. Per-API rate-limit numbers are documented in each API's reference page (e.g. Model Derivative, Data Management) rather than at a single canonical URL. Throttled responses use HTTP 429 with Retry-After. The public rate-limit overview pages were not directly fetchable for this revision.

Limits
APS API Throttling (per-app, per-token) account/app
per-API limits documented in each API's reference page
Treat as variable per API; instrument 429 handling at the app level.
Model Derivative job concurrency account/app
see Model Derivative API reference
Translation jobs are queued; concurrent translation count varies by app entitlement.
Design Automation cloud-engine concurrency account/app
see Design Automation API reference
Cloud-engine slots throttle parallel work-item execution.
Policies
Backoff Strategy
Honor Retry-After when present; use exponential backoff with jitter on 429 / 503.
Per-App Token Scoping
APS rate limits are scoped to the calling app's client_id and to the access token; multi-app callers should split credentials.
Cloud Credits as Soft Cap
For chargeable APIs (Model Derivative, Design Automation, Reality Capture, Data Exchange), the Cloud Credit balance acts as an additional consumption cap independent of per-second rate limits.
