Easypost Rate Limits

EasyPost applies per-account rate limits and returns HTTP 429 with Retry-After when exceeded. Default sustained throughput is in the tens of requests per second per account; bursting beyond your account profile triggers throttling. Higher limits are available on request and via enterprise contracts.
