I’m encountering 429 errors, and I’m worried my rate limit is too low. What should I do?

Your Claude API organization's rate limit depends on your usage tier. There are three usage tiers: Start, Build, and Scale. Accounts whose limits are managed with their account team are on a separate Custom tier. You can see your tier and current limits at Settings > Limits in the Claude Console.

If you're seeing 429 errors, you can request higher limits in the Console once you're using at least 50% of your current limits.

Refer to the Rate limits page in our Claude Platform Docs for more information. For custom limits, contact our Sales team.
