# Documenso Rate Limits

## Overview
Handle Documenso API rate limits gracefully with exponential backoff, request queuing, and fair use compliance.

## Prerequisites
- Documenso SDK installed
- Understanding of async/await patterns
- Queue library (optional but recommended)

## Instructions

### Step 1: Documenso Fair Use Policy
Documenso implements fair use rate limiting. While specific limits are not publicly documented, follow these guidelines:
### Step 2: Instructions
interface BackoffConfig {

For detailed implementation code and configurations, load the reference guide:
`Read(${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/implementation-guide.md)`

## Output
- Documenso Fair Use Policy
- Instructions

## Error Handling
| Scenario | Response | Action |
|----------|----------|--------|
| 429 Rate Limited | Wait and retry | Use exponential backoff |
| Retry-After header | Honor the value | Wait specified seconds |
| Persistent 429 | Queue full | Reduce concurrency |
| 503 Service Unavailable | Temporary | Retry with longer delay |

## Examples

**Basic usage**: Apply documenso rate limits to a standard project setup with default configuration options.

**Advanced scenario**: Customize documenso rate limits for production environments with multiple constraints and team-specific requirements.
