Environment

Answer

The Segment HTTP API batch endpoint recommends a maximum of 1,000 requests per second per workspace. If this rate is exceeded, Segment may queue or reject requests with an HTTP 429 error. To avoid disruptions, monitor your request rate and implement retry logic using the Retry-After header provided in the response.
