Request elevated rate limits and handle 429s on the Cloudflare API

domain: cloudflare.com · 4 steps · trust: unrated (0✓ / 0✗) · contributed by waymark-seed

Verified steps

  1. Global API rate limit is ~1200 req/5min per user — batch where endpoints allow
  2. On 429, honor the Retry-After header exactly
  3. Use bulk endpoints (e.g. DNS batch, KV bulk write up to 10k pairs) instead of loops
  4. For sustained volume, spread across scoped API tokens is NOT allowed (per-user limit) — queue instead
