Throttling
The table below lists the throttling limits for the Skills API endpoints. The per-minute limit is the enforced threshold — requests exceeding it will receive a throttling error. The per-hour and per-day columns represent the derived maximums assuming sustained usage at the limit. For more information on throttling errors and guidance on handling these limits, please see the Throttling section of the Getting Started guide.
