I just met the rate limit
exceeded error when send an API request. Its rate was about 1 per second. The service is SoftLayer_Resource_Metadata
.
So do anyone know the SoftLayer's rate limit
strategy? Such as the number of limits, the scope of limit(the same IP or the same account, etc.)
the limit is 50 request for second for each user. The SoftLayer_Resource_Metadata service does not need an specific user so when you use this service I recommend do not exceed 50 request for second in your account.
