Understanding and Preparing for Bettermode's New API Rate Limits

Hi Everyone, 👋

At Bettermode, we are committed to providing a stable and fair environment for all our users, which is why we are announcing an important update that will affect how you interact with our APIs. Starting June 1st, 2024, we will enforce API rate limits as outlined in our detailed API documentation. Here's everything you need to know about this upcoming change and how it impacts you.

Why Are We Introducing API Rate Limits?

As our platform continues to grow, the need to maintain system stability and fairness in API usage becomes increasingly important. The implementation of rate limits ensures that all users have equitable access to our services, preventing any single user from consuming disproportionate resources that could affect the overall system performance.

Who Will Be Impacted?

This update will affect all Bettermode users who utilize integrations, APIs, Webhooks, or Custom Apps. It's crucial for developers and site owners to be aware of and prepare for these changes to avoid any disruptions to their operations.

How to Prepare for This Update

Although the rate limits are not currently enforced, this is the perfect time to start preparing. Here’s how:

  • Review Your API Usage: Check how your applications are aligning with their allowed daily limits in the billing section of our site. This will help you understand your current usage and adjust as necessary.

  • Plan for Adjustments: If your needs exceed the forthcoming limits, consider purchasing an API add-on to accommodate your requirements. Our app developers’ documentation offers comprehensive strategies to manage and optimize your API consumption effectively.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we implement these necessary changes. By implementing these new limits, we can ensure that Bettermode continues to deliver high-quality, reliable services to all our customers.
