Lucidchart Rate Limits

Lucid REST API enforces rate limits per OAuth client. The platform returns 429 with a Retry-After header when limits are exceeded. Specific per-second numbers are not consistently published; high-volume use is expected to coordinate with Lucid through the developer portal.

Policies

Backoff Strategy
