Linear Rate Limits

Overview

Linear uses the leaky bucket algorithm with two rate limiting dimensions. Understanding both is critical for reliable integrations:

Budget Limit Refill Rate
Requests 5,000/hour per API key ~83/min constant refill
Complexity 250,000 points/hour ~4,167/min constant refill
Max single query 10,000 points Hard reject if exceeded

Complexity scoring: Each property = 0.1 pt, each object = 1 pt, connections multiply children by first arg (default 50), then round up.

Prerequisites

  • @linear/sdk installed
  • Understanding of HTTP response headers
  • Familiarity with async/await patterns
