}HTTP 429 error: API rate limit exceeded for 5 minutes
Cloudflare global rate limit is 1,200 requests per 5 minutes. Wait for 5-minute window to reset. Distribute API calls across time and implement request throttling to stay under 4 requests per second.
Rate limit API error: decoding not yet implemented
Add Content-Type: application/json header to your API request. Verify request body is properly formatted JSON and includes all required parameters for the endpoint.
Error: ratelimit.api.not_entitled for Enterprise features
Contact your Cloudflare Account Team to enable Enterprise rate limiting features. Verify your account tier supports advanced rate limiting or migrate to Ruleset Engine API.
Authentication error: token permission insufficient
Verify API token has Firewall Services Write permission for rate limiting. Check token hasn't expired and regenerate from Cloudflare dashboard if needed. Use Bearer authentication, not email/key pair.
Cannot configure rate limits or firewall rules
Ensure API token has correct zone and account-level permissions. Verify you're using Ruleset Engine API (not deprecated Rate Limiting API) and check account tier supports feature.
