Kombo Rate Limits
Kombo markets unlimited API calls and data volume on every plan. The public docs do not enumerate per-second / per-minute throttling thresholds for Kombo's own API; rate limits are typically inherited from the underlying connected HRIS / ATS / LMS systems and surfaced via job/sync status rather than per-call 429s.

Limits
Kombo platform API tenant
unlimited per Kombo pricing; subject to underlying integration throttling
Underlying-system sync frequency integration
sync cadence varies by plan and source system; Scale and Enterprise unlock higher frequency
Policies
Sync orchestration
Kombo manages polling and webhook processing against upstream HRIS systems; consumers should treat Kombo as eventually consistent and react to webhook deltas rather than poll.
Backoff
On 429/5xx from Kombo, retry with exponential backoff and jitter; honor Retry-After.
Upstream-aware throttling
When the source HR system (Workday, SAP, BambooHR, etc.) returns a rate-limit signal, Kombo surfaces it via sync errors; resolve by increasing the source system quota rather than retrying against Kombo.
