## Rate Limits

Machines API rate limits apply _per-action_, _per-machine_. The limit is 1 request, per second, per action (i.e. Create Machine, Start Machine etc.) — with a short-term burst limit up to 3 req/s, per action.
Machines API rate limits apply _per-action_, _per-machine_ and are scoped per identifier. That might be Machine ID or App ID, depending on the type of request. The limit is 1 request, per second, per action (i.e. Create Machine, Start Machine etc.) — with a short-term burst limit up to 3 req/s, per action.

This applies to all actions except [Get Machine](/docs/machines/api/machines-resource/#get-a-machine) which is 5 req/s, with a short-term burst limit up to 10 req/s.
