## Exceeded rate limits
If you exceed your plan's [rate limits](/v2.0/cloud/pricing-plans/), {{< cloud-name >}}
will provide a notification in the {{< cloud-name "short" >}} user interface (UI)
and add a rate limit event to your **Usage** page for review.

All rate-limited requests are rejected; including both read and write requests.
_Rate-limited requests are **not** queued._

_To remove rate limits, [upgrade to a Pay As You Go Plan](/v2.0/cloud/account-management/upgrade-to-payg/)._

### Rate-limited HTTP response code
When a request exceeds your plan's rate limit, the InfluxDB API returns the following response:

```
HTTP 429 “Too Many Requests”
Retry-After: xxx (seconds to wait before retrying the request)
```
