Jupyter Notebook Rate Limits
Project Jupyter does not operate a public hosted API and therefore does not impose first-party rate limits. The Jupyter Server REST and WebSocket APIs run on user-owned infrastructure; any rate limiting is configured by the operator (reverse proxy, JupyterHub, or hosting platform such as Binder / mybinder.org).

Limits
Self-hosted - operator-defined deployment
not imposed by the Jupyter project; configured at the deployment / proxy layer
mybinder.org public service (community-operated) deployment
see https://mybinder.readthedocs.io/ for fair-use limits on the public Binder federation
Policies
Self-Hosted Throttling
Operators typically apply rate limiting at the ingress (NGINX, Traefik, cloud load balancer) rather than inside the Jupyter Server itself.
JupyterHub Quotas
JupyterHub provides per-user concurrency and resource quotas via spawner configuration; these are deployment-defined.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter on 429 / 503 responses.
