# Forma: Forms API Rate Limit

The Forma Forms API observes a rate limit to ensure that all clients get sufficient service and that runaway applications don’t consume excessive resources. You’ll find general information about rate limits in [APS Rate Limits and Quotas](https://aps.autodesk.com/en/docs/acc/v1/overview/rate-limits/forge-rate-limits).

## Rate Limit

This rate limit applies per application (specified by client ID) and is measured across all Forms API endpoints combined:

| Endpoints                        | Limit (requests/minute) | Scope                                    |
| -------------------------------- | ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| All Forms API endpoints combined | 100                     | Per application (specified by client ID) |

Note that this rate is not a service guarantee. In the uncommon case where total service use is too high across all clients, the accepted request rate may drop until traffic subsides.

## Violation Notification

If an application makes a Forms API request that exceeds this rate limit, the Forms service returns an HTTP 429 error (described in detail in [APS Rate Limits and Quotas](https://aps.autodesk.com/en/docs/acc/v1/overview/rate-limits/forge-rate-limits)).

## Changing Limits

[APS Rate Limits and Quotas](https://aps.autodesk.com/en/docs/acc/v1/overview/rate-limits/forge-rate-limits) describes how to request rate limit changes for APS APIs.
