Rate Limit Headers

When rate limits apply, each Card Deck Shuffler response includes headers to help you track your usage:

Header	Description
`X-RateLimit-Limit`	Maximum number of requests allowed per time window
`X-RateLimit-Remaining`	Number of requests remaining in the current window
`X-RateLimit-Reset`	Unix timestamp when the rate limit window resets

Handling Rate Limits

Free Plan: When you exceed your rate limit, Card Deck Shuffler returns a 429 Too Many Requests status code. Your application should implement appropriate backoff logic to handle this gracefully.

Paid Plans: No rate limiting or throttling applied. All paid plans (Starter, Pro, Mega) are production-ready.

Best Practices for Card Deck Shuffler:

Monitor the rate limit headers to track your Card Deck Shuffler usage (Free plan only)
Cache card deck shuffler responses where appropriate to reduce API calls
Upgrade to Pro or Mega for guaranteed no-throttle Card Deck Shuffler performance

Note: Card Deck Shuffler rate limits are separate from credit consumption. You may have credits remaining but still hit rate limits when using Card Deck Shuffler on Free tier.
