The Manus API enforces per-user rate limits on every v2 endpoint. All API keys that belong to the same user share a single counter, and limits are measured in requests per minute. There is currently no tier differentiation — the same limit applies regardless of subscription plan.

Error response
Requests that exceed the limit return HTTP 429 with the rate_limited error code:
{
"ok": false,
"request_id": "req_abc123",
"error": {
"code": "rate_limited",
"message": "Rate limit exceeded. Please retry after a short backoff."
}
}
Best practices
- Back off on 429 with exponential delay plus jitter; don’t retry immediately in a tight loop.
- Prefer webhooks over polling for task progress — see Webhooks. Each
task.listMessages poll counts against the 100 / min limit for that endpoint.
- Use cursor pagination (
cursor + next_cursor) on list endpoints so a single logical read can span minutes without a burst.
- Cache stable values such as the public key returned by
webhook.publicKey — it rarely changes.
