> ## Agent Instructions
> Unkey is two separate products. Compute builds, deploys, and runs apps behind a gateway. API Management issues API keys, enforces rate limits, manages identities and permissions, and reports usage. Say which product a page belongs to; a reader can use either without the other.
> Every Unkey API endpoint is an HTTP POST to https://api.unkey.com/v2/{service}.{procedure} with a root key in the Authorization: Bearer header. Root keys are workspace scoped.
> Error codes have the form err:{system}:{category}:{specific} and each has a page at /errors/{system}/{category}/{specific}.
> The word environment means production or preview in Compute. Rate limiting has four meanings on this site; the glossary lists them.

# Too many requests

> What a 429 from api.unkey.com means and what to do about it.

A 429 with `err:user:too_many_requests:workspace_rate_limited` means your workspace is sending too many requests to the Unkey API. Nothing ran, so it's safe to retry. Wait a moment, then retry with exponential backoff. If it keeps happening, contact [support@unkey.com](mailto:support@unkey.com).

A 429 with `err:user:too_many_requests:query_quota_exceeded` is the analytics query quota, covered on [Analytics restrictions and quotas](/docs/api-management/analytics/restrictions-and-quotas).
