Firecrawl Rate Limits
Overview
Firecrawl enforces rate limits per API key measured in requests per minute and concurrent connections. When exceeded, the API returns 429 Too Many Requests with a Retry-After header. This skill covers backoff strategies, request queuing, and proactive throttling.
Rate Limit Tiers

| Free | 10 | 2 | 500 |
| Hobby | 20 | 3 | 3,000 |
| Standard | 50 | 5 | 50,000 |
| Growth | 100 | 10 | 500,000 |
| Scale | 500+ | 50+ | Custom |
Concurrent crawl jobs count against concurrency limits. If the queue is full, new jobs are rejected with 429.
