Rate Limits - MoEngage

MoEngage enforces rate limits on its REST APIs to keep the shared platform fast and reliable for every customer. Limits apply per workspace unless a specific endpoint states otherwise (some are per client or per consumer), and a request that exceeds its limit is rejected with an HTTP 429 Too Many Requests response. Most limits below are the defaults. Several limits can be raised for your workspace based on genuine need — contact your MoEngage Customer Success Manager (CSM) or the Support team to discuss an increase.

Rate limits and payload caps are two separate controls. A request can be within the rate limit but still be rejected for exceeding the payload size, or vice versa. Each endpoint’s own reference page carries its authoritative limit; the tables below summarize them.

Rate limits by endpoint

Endpoints are grouped by product area to match the API reference navigation. When several endpoints share a single pool, the limit is applied across all of them.
