Admin API

Rate limits

The Admin API uses calculated query costs and a leaky bucket per app.

Rule	Value
Bucket size	1000 points
Restore rate	50 points / second
Maximum single query cost	1000 points
Maximum page size (first)	100
Maximum query depth	8
Mutation base cost	10 points per mutation field

Cost = 1 per object field; connection fields multiply their children by first (default 20). Scalars are free. Every response includes the cost:

JSON

"extensions": {
  "cost": {
    "requestedQueryCost": 42,
    "actualQueryCost": 42,
    "throttleStatus": { "maximumAvailable": 1000, "currentlyAvailable": 958, "restoreRate": 50 }
  }
}

When the bucket is empty you get HTTP 429 with extensions.code = "THROTTLED" and a Retry-After header (seconds). Back off and retry; request fewer items per page for large syncs.
