# Lucidchart Rate Limits ## Overview Lucidchart's API enforces per-OAuth-token rate limits, with document mutation operations (creating shapes, updating pages, modifying text) throttled more aggressively than read-only document listing. Automations that programmatically generate architecture diagrams or org charts from external data sources can easily exceed write limits when placing dozens of shapes and connectors in a single batch. Image export endpoints carry additional latency due to server-side rendering, making export-heavy workflows the most common throttling bottleneck. ## Rate Limit Reference | Endpoint | Limit | Window | Scope | |----------|-------|--------|-------| | List documents | 120 req | 1 minute | Per OAuth token | | Get document / pages | 60 req | 1 minute | Per OAuth token | | Create/update shapes | 30 req | 1 minute | Per OAuth token | | Export to PNG/PDF | 10 req | 1 minute | Per OAuth token | | Create document | 15 req | 1 minute | Per OAuth token | ## Rate Limiter Implementation ```typescript class LucidRateLimiter { private tokens: number; private lastRefill: number; private readonly max: number; private readonly refillRate: number; private queue: Array<{ resolve: () => void }> = []; constructor(maxPerMinute: number) { this.max = maxPerMinute; this.tokens = maxPerMinute; this.lastRefill = Date.now(); this.refillRate = maxPerMinute / 60_000; } async acquire(): Promise<void> { this.refill(); if (this.token...
