Rate Limits

Suggest Edits

The Gusto API rate limit is currently 200 requests per minute.

Rate limit violations are evaluated using a 60 second rolling window at an OAuth grant level, meaning that you can make up to 200 requests within a given 60 second timeframe for each OAuth grant's corresponding access_token.

If the Gusto rate limit is met by your application, subsequent requests will be rejected with a 429: Too Many Requests status code until the violating window closes.
