# Rate Limiting

The provided OpenAPI specification does not explicitly detail rate limiting headers or quotas.

## Recommendations

- **Monitor Usage**: BambooHR may enforce undocumented limits. Watch for `429 Too Many Requests` (if implemented).
- **Official Guidance**: Consult the [official documentation](https://www.bamboohr.com/api/documentation/) or contact BambooHR support for your account's rate limits.
- **Best Practices**:
  - Implement client-side throttling (e.g., 100 requests/minute).
  - Use exponential backoff on retries.
  - Batch requests where possible (e.g., via reports).

If rate limits are hit:

```bash
# Pseudo-response
HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 0
Retry-After: 60
```

Pause and retry after the specified duration.
