Hey @datofish,

Currently, Spaces have the following request rate limits:

750 requests (any operation) per IP address per second to all Spaces on an account.
240 total operations per second to any individual Space.
150 combined PUT, POST, COPY, DELETE, and LIST operations per second to any individual Space. We may further limit LIST operations if necessary under periods of high load.
5 PUT or COPY requests per 5 minutes to any individual object in a Space.

In case you want to see this increased, the best thing to do to get your voice heard regarding this would be to head over to our Product Ideas board and post a new idea, including as much information as possible for what you’d like to see implemented.
