Rate Limit Exceeded  [Go SDK]

When a single user makes too many requests to Horizon in a one hour time frame, Horizon returns a rate_limit_exceeded error. By default, Horizon allows 3600 requests per hour – an average of one request per second.

If you are encountering this error, please reduce your request speed. Here are some strategies for doing so:

• For collection endpoints, try specifying larger page sizes.
• Try streaming responses to watch for new data instead of pulling data every time.
• Cache immutable data, such as transaction details, locally

See the Rate Limiting Guide for more info.
