Stripe API has certain limitations to ensure stability and prevent abuse. Here are the key ones:
Rate Limits: Stripe allows up to 100 read and 100 write operations per second in live mode for most APIs, and 25 operations per second for each in test mode. For the Files API and the Search API, the limit is 20 operations per second in both live and test modes.
Concurrency Limits: This limitation restricts the number of requests that can be active at the same time. This limit is less commonly encountered than the rate limit but could come into play for particularly resource-intensive, long-lasting requests.
These limits are adjustable. Suppose these restrictions impact your business operations or anticipate higher limits. In that case, you can contact Stripe’s support for assistance or request an increased limit, preferably six weeks before significant increases.
