# Throttle Limits

If your app makes a lot of API requests in a short period of time then it may receive a <mark style="color:red;">`429 Too Many Requests`</mark> error response from the CSA Prediction Engine API. This indicates that your program has reached our API *rate limit*. The Web API has rate limits in order to keep our API reliable and to help our clients use the API in a responsible way.
