Rate Limiting -

Hello - I am trying to man age my APIs rate limits and was referring to the Railway Docs. However I could not find any of the 4 headers mentioned below. Am I doing something wrong?

 Rate Limits
In order to protect the Railway API from spam and misusage, we have established some basic rate limits. The current limit is 1000 requests per hour to the API. To help you keep track of your usage, Railway sends a few headers with the response on each request.

Header    Description
X-RateLimit-Limit    The maximum number of API requests allowed per day.
X-RateLimit-Remaining    The number of API requests your token can make in the current window.
X-RateLimit-Reset    The time at which the current window ends and your remaining requests reset.
Retry-After    The amount of time after which you can make another request. This header is only sent once you've used up all your requests in the current window.

Solution:

you'll want to look for tutorials on how to add rate limiting to a flask app, doing so also has nothing to do with railway itself

my app is handling some CRUD transactions to Firestore DB. When I go beoynd a certain number of calls, it erros out. in this case should i use the Railway limit of 1000 calls per hour

I'm sorry but this question has nothing to do with Railway railway does not place any rate limits on your app, like I said the documentation you're looking at is completely irrelevant
