Framer Rate Limits

Framer Rate Limits

Prerequisites

Confirmed provider limits, bounded concurrency/retry policy, approved integration owner, and synthetic staging requests.

Output

Record policy version, aggregate throttles, retry/queue outcome, owner, and manual disposition without visitor data or credentials.

Examples

Simulate a throttled staging request, honor the retry bound under an opaque operation ID, and route repeated failures to review instead of replaying publish actions.

Overview

Handle Framer API rate limits for Server API and plugin operations. The Server API uses WebSocket, so rate limits apply per-connection. CMS operations are limited by collection size and concurrent writes.

Instructions

Step 1: Batch CMS Writes

async function batchSetItems(collection: any, items: any[], batchSize = 100) {
  for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i += batchSize) {
    const batch = items.slice(i, i + batchSize);
    await collection.setItems(batch);
    console.log(`Synced ${Math.min(i + batchSize, items.length)}/${items.length}`);
    if (i + batchSize < items.length) {
      await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 1000)); // 1s between batches
    }
  }
}

Step 2: Debounced Plugin Operations

// Debounce rapid plugin UI interactions
function debounce<T extends (...args: any[]) => any>(fn: T, ms = 300) {
  let timer: NodeJS.Timeout;
  return (...args: Parameters<T>) => {
    clearTimeout(timer);
    timer = setTimeout(() => fn(...args), ms);
  };
}

const debouncedSync = debounce(async () => {
  await syncCollection();
}, 500);

Step 3: Retry for Server API

async function withRetry<T>(fn: () => Promise<T>, maxRetries = 3): Promise<T> {
  for (let i = 0; i <= maxRetries; i++) {
    try {
      return await fn();
    } catch (err: any) {
      if (i === maxRetries) throw err;
      const delay = 1000 * Math.pow(2, i);
      console.log(`Retry ${i + 1} in ${delay}ms`);
      await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, delay));
    }
  }
  throw new Error('Unreachable');
}
