Rate Limits

FormFast applies rate limits to prevent abuse and ensure reliability. These limits apply to the form submission endpoint.

Submission rate limits

Scope	Limit	Window	Purpose
Per IP per endpoint	5 submissions	1 minute	Prevents a single user from spamming
Per endpoint	30 submissions	1 hour	Prevents endpoint flooding from any source
Per endpoint (daily)	200 submissions	24 hours	Daily safety cap per form

Monthly plan limits

In addition to rate limits, each plan has a monthly submission cap:

Plan	Monthly limit
Free	50 submissions
Pro	2,500 submissions
Business	10,000 submissions

When the monthly limit is reached, new submissions return a 402 status code.

Error responses

Rate-limited requests return a 429 status with one of these messages:

JSON

// Per-IP limit
{ "error": "Too many submissions. Try again later." }

// Per-endpoint hourly limit
{ "error": "This form has received too many submissions. Try again later." }

// Daily limit
{ "error": "This form has reached its daily submission limit. Try again tomorrow." }

Hitting rate limits?

If you're seeing rate limit errors during testing, wait for the window to reset (1 minute for per-IP limits). If your form receives high legitimate traffic, consider upgrading to a higher plan for increased monthly limits.
