# Public API limitations

The Cloud APIs have some rules in place to protect both the control system and the user.

## Current API Constraints

-   **Rate limiting**: Maximum number of requests enforced
-   **Bulk operations**: Limited batch sizes

**Workaround**: Implement exponential backoff and pagination in your integrations to avoid rate limiting.
