The Limits API exposes limit values stored in Cognite Data Fusion: you can list limit values, use advanced list filters, and retrieve a value by its identifier. This is not the same as API rate limits. API rate limits govern how many requests you can make per second and how CDF responds with HTTP 429 Too Many Requests when those budgets are exceeded. The Limits API is for reading configured or effective limit values as resources (for example, for display, automation, or integration scenarios described in the endpoint documentation).
If you are handling throttling, retries, and backoff, use the API rate limits topic. Use the Limits API when you need to query limit value resources via /limits/values and related operations in the API reference.
