Account limits

Developer API traffic is rate-limited by CREAO account. The active account run limit is shown in Developer Console on the dashboard. Limits are applied before execution starts. If a create-run request is rejected by rate limiting, no run is accepted. Agent create, replacement update, and natural-language edit creation requests also have a narrower write limiter: 30 writes per account per hour. If a write is rejected by this limiter, no agent row is created or changed and no edit run is accepted.

​
IP limits

Developer Platform also applies an IP-level safety limit to protect the service from abusive traffic. This limit applies before account-specific routing.

​
Handling 429

When you receive RATE_LIMITED, wait for the Retry-After header before retrying when the header is present. 
HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests
Retry-After: 60
Content-Type: application/json

{ "error": "RATE_LIMITED" }
Use exponential backoff with jitter for repeated retries. Do not retry non-idempotent run creation in a tight loop; each accepted run can consume credits.

​
No per-key tuning in v1

Developer Platform v1 does not expose per-key, per-agent, per-project, or per-end-user rate-limit configuration. Limits apply at the account level.
