Rate limit refers to the maximum number of requests that a client is allowed to make to a service or an API within a certain timeframe. Think of it as a cap or quota on how much customers can use a specific service to ensure it remains reliable and available for everyone. This is a standard practice to prevent any single user or application from overloading the system, which can lead to slower response times or even service outages. When the limit is reached, a client might temporarily be unable to make further requests until the limit resets. It's a way to keep the service running smoothly for all users and to encourage fair and efficient use of resources.

This page shows the rate limits for the Backup management APIs.
