Rate Limits

The following actions are ratelimited:

Subscription: Consumes one token from your request limiter.
Connection: 20 per hour, on a separate limiter.
Dead Man’s Switch (cancelAllAfter): Consumes one token from your request limiter.

If you exceed your ratelimit on a subscription or cancelAllAfter call, you will see a message like:

{"status":429,"error":"Rate limit exceeded, retry in 1 seconds.","meta":{"retryAfter":1},"request":{"op":"subscribe","args":"orderBook"}}

If you are ratelimited from connecting, the message is slightly different (example includes headers):
