Rate Limits & Credits

Aura uses a credit-based system to meter usage. Credits are consumed per action performed by an agent.

Check your current balance via the Payments API:

Terminal window
curl https://api.aura.host/api/v1/gen_payments \
-H "X-API-KEY: your_api_key_here"

Rate limits are enforced per API key. If you exceed the limit, you will receive a 429 Too Many Requests response.

The Retry-After header in the response indicates how many seconds to wait before retrying.

  • Cache responses where possible — avoid polling endpoints more frequently than necessary
  • Use list endpoints with filters rather than fetching individual resources in a loop
  • For bulk operations, batch requests rather than making many individual calls
  • Implement exponential backoff for 429 responses (see Error Handling)
