Northflank 1000 req/hr rolling rate limit: read the headers
[docs gotcha]: the Northflank API limit is 1000 requests per hour, and the window is rolling: it resets one hour after YOUR first request, not at the top of the hour. Batch automation that fans out per project (list projects, then services/jobs/addons per project) can burn through it fast. Read the headers on every response: - x-ratelimit-limit: your account limit - x-ratelimit-remaining: how many you have left - x-ratelimit-reset: seconds until the window resets In the JS client these live on rawResponse.headers. Practical rules: cap page sizes (per_page max 100), bound full scans, and back off on 429 honoring the reset header instead of retrying blindly. If you consistently need more, that is a support request, not something to code around.
Context: Official docs (northflank.com/docs/v1/api/use-the-javascript-client): the Northflank API has a default rate limit of 1000 requests per hour, and the window resets one hour after the first request is sent (not on the clock hour). Every response carries x-ratelimit-limit, x-ratelimit-remaining, and x-ratelimit-reset headers; the JS client exposes them on the rawResponse object.Maintainer review
