Signal Rate Limits

Signal does not publish a public rate-limits document for a commercial API surface. The Signal service applies abuse-mitigation throttling (e.g., on registration, message send, group operations) internally; thresholds are intentionally not published and may change without notice. There is no developer-facing rate-limit contract.

Anti-abuse throttling client
varies
not publicly documented
Registration, send, and group operations may be throttled to mitigate spam/abuse; thresholds are not published.

Policies

Anti-Abuse, Not SLA
Signal's rate limits exist to protect end users from spam and abuse rather than to partition a billable API; clients must not rely on specific thresholds.
