E.g. do you rate limit?

Yes. For Enterprise and Pro tiers, Honeycomb enforces a rate limit of 15,000 events per second (EPS) with a burst capacity of 500,000 events for one-second intervals.

Free tier plans are limited to 2000 EPS.

If any traffic destined for a single dataset exceeds this, Honeycomb will rate limit the traffic, emitting a 429 server response from our API.

Note: Please let us know if you're on an Enterprise or Pro Honeycomb account and you'd like to discuss a rate limit increase.
