Linear Rate Limits

Overview

Understand and handle Linear API rate limits for reliable integrations.

Prerequisites

• Linear SDK configured
• Understanding of HTTP headers
• Familiarity with async patterns

Instructions

1. Step 1: Basic Rate Limit Handler
2. Step 2: Exponential Backoff
3. Step 3: Request Queue
4. Step 4: Batch Operations
5. Step 5: Query Optimization

Output

• Rate limit monitoring
• Automatic retry with backoff
• Request queuing and throttling
• Batch processing utilities
• Optimized query patterns

Error Handling

Error	Cause	Solution
429 Too Many Requests	Rate limit exceeded	Use backoff and queue
Complexity exceeded	Query too expensive	Simplify query structure
Timeout	Long-running query	Paginate or split queries
