Scheduled
Changes to rate limiting for preview prices and preview transaction operations
The price preview and transaction preview operations are scheduled to be rate limited to 1,000 requests per minute per IP address.
What's new?
From January 26, 2026, the price preview and transaction preview operations will be rate limited to 1,000 requests per minute per IP address.
Requests from the
Paddle.PricePreview()andPaddle.TransactionPreview()methods originate from the client IP address. This means that client-side pricing page implementations aren't impacted.
How it works
The preview transaction and preview prices operations are commonly used in server-side workflows that return localized prices for a list of items.
To help protect the Paddle platform and make sure it works smoothly for everyone, we're introducing a rate limit of 1,000 requests per minute per IP address for these endpoints. This is significantly higher than our standard platform rate limit of 240 requests per minute, and isn't expected to impact integrations.
If you exceed the rate limit, you'll receive a too_many_requests error with a 429 response code as normal.
Rate limits exist per IP address, so this shouldn't impact pricing pages that fetch prices client-side using Paddle.PricePreview() or Paddle.TransactionPreview(). It only impacts server-side calls to the preview transaction and preview prices operations in the API.
Next steps
This change is scheduled to be implemented on January 26, 2026 and applies to both sandbox and production accounts.
There are no changes to endpoints or fields in the API as a result of this change — it's a change to the way the Paddle platform handles requests.
Extensive monitoring before this change shows that customers ordinarily operate well within these limits, and we don't expect any disruption to integrations. 1,000 server-side requests per minute is high enough to handle high-volume use cases. Usage above 1,000 requests per minute may indicate a problem with your integration.
