Hello-

We are implementing a project internally where we call circleci api to access the insights from the build and visualize it in our internal dashboard.But often we get 403 time out errors and i was wondering if rate limit in circle ci is on individual token level or on enterprise account level.Seems like we are not making that many calls through our program to hit any rate limit , but it makes sense if we hit rate limit on enterprise account level since we use circel ci very heavily .

You may get a quicker reply if you raise a support ticket as the team will be able to route your question to the team that handles this.

In general, the API should return 429 if throttling takes place not 403. This is documented here
