# Multi-Threaded API Request Support

Multi Threaded/Concurrent API requests from a single API client are supported with the following constraints:

1. Do not exceed **10,000 API requests per second**
2. Limited to **20 concurrent threads per client**

*Exceeding these limits may result in an API rate limit or DDoS error being returned from the API Gateway*

# API Rate Limiting and DDoS

The API rate limit for uploads **10,000 requests per second**. Exceeding the request limit will result in a **429 Error** from the API gateway.

# Max Payload Size

The API Gateway has a **maximum payload size of 10MB**. Exceeding 10MB in a single POST request will return a **413 Error** from the API gateway

# Timeout

Requests have a timeout of **29.5 seconds**. If a timeout is experienced, data will still be inserted, it simply indicates that the operation took longer than 29.5 seconds to complete.
