# Understand API Rate Limits
**ID:** DEV-006
**Priority:** Low
**Status:** Planned
## User Story
As a developer, I want to understand and monitor API rate limits so that I can build applications that respect limits and handle throttling gracefully.
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] Clear documentation of rate limits per endpoint
- [ ] Rate limit headers in API responses (X-RateLimit-*)
- [ ] Different limits for different API token tiers
- [ ] Dashboard showing current usage vs limits
- [ ] Alerts when approaching rate limits
- [ ] Retry-After header when rate limited
- [ ] Ability to request limit increase
## Technical Notes
- Implement rate limiting middleware (consider express-rate-limit)
- Store rate limit counters in Redis for distributed systems
- Different limits: login attempts, API calls, token operations
- Consider sliding window algorithm for smooth limits
- 429 Too Many Requests response with helpful error message
