🔒 Rate Limits for Public Cloud Users

To ensure fair and stable access for everyone, aqua applies rate limits to API requests made from public cloud environments. This helps prevent system overload and ensures reliable performance for all users.

Below you’ll find an overview of the rate limits that apply, what they mean, and how they may impact your usage.

API Rate limits

What	Limit
Agents	20 requests per second
Upload attachments	20 uploads per minute
Upload images	20 uploads per minute
API	20 requests per second

❗What happens if you hit the limit?

If you exceed the allowed rate:

• You may receive a temporary delay before requests are accepted again.

• In some cases, repeated abuse may result in temporary blocking of access from your IP.

Don’t worry—normal usage shouldn’t trigger these limits. If you believe your team needs higher thresholds (e.g., for automated tools or integrations), please reach out to our support.
