Intercom Rate Limits

Overview

Intercom enforces rate limits per app and per workspace. Handle 429 errors gracefully with exponential backoff, queue-based throttling, and proactive header monitoring. This skill gives you five composable defenses — a retry wrapper, a live monitor, a request queue, request batching, and metrics — so a high-volume integration stays under the ceiling instead of spraying 429s.

The full, copy-paste TypeScript for all five lives in references/implementation.md; this page carries the limits, the header contract, and a lean skeleton so you can wire it up from here and drill in for depth.
