Requesting a rate limit increase
3 min read Updated January 18, 2026
Default Limits
| Plan | Rate Limit | Monthly Quota |
|---|---|---|
| Sandbox | 60 req/min | 10,000/month |
| Self-Serve | 300 req/min | Unlimited (metered) |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom |
When to Request an Increase
Request a rate limit increase if you consistently need more than your plan allows. Common scenarios:
- Batch screening workflows processing thousands of entities
- Real-time integrations with high transaction volume
- Multi-tenant platforms making requests on behalf of many end-users
How to Request
Email support@compliancegrid.ai with:
- Your organization name and credential ID
- Current plan tier
- Requested rate limit (e.g., 1,000 req/min)
- Brief description of your use case and expected volume
- Whether you need burst capacity or sustained throughput
Enterprise Plans
For sustained high-volume usage (1,000+ req/min), consider an Enterprise plan. Enterprise customers get custom rate limits, dedicated infrastructure, SLA guarantees, and priority support. Contact sales@compliancegrid.ai for pricing.
Alternatives to Higher Limits
Before requesting an increase, consider: - Batch endpoints — Screen up to 1,000 entities in one API call - Caching — Cache HS code lookups and other relatively static data - Request queuing — Smooth out traffic spikes with a local queue - Webhook subscriptions — Let us push data to you instead of polling
