Response Analysis

Rate-Limit Header Decoder

Interpret common and provider-specific rate-limit response headers, reset times, remaining capacity, and Retry-After values locally in your browser.

Response headers

Paste the header block

Include the HTTP status line and Date header when available. Non-rate-limit fields are ignored and their values are not repeated in the results.

A matching field name can be used by more than one provider. Treat these as reference matches, not provider identification.

Decode a response to see recognized fields.

Interpret conservatively

Headers describe one response, not the whole policy.

Limits can apply to a credential, route, model, resource, workspace, organization, or another provider-defined bucket. A positive remaining value does not guarantee that another request will succeed.

  1. 1
    Keep the response context

    Record the status, endpoint family, credential scope, and relevant provider documentation.

  2. 2
    Read values by format

    Reset fields can use epoch seconds, epoch milliseconds, durations, HTTP dates, or provider-specific forms.

  3. 3
    Honor Retry-After

    Treat a valid server delay as the earliest retry time, then apply your bounded local retry policy.

  4. 4
    Expect other controls

    Secondary limits, concurrency caps, abuse controls, and dynamic quotas may not appear in these fields.

Interpretation aid: Header names and meanings vary by provider and can change. Confirm critical behavior with the provider's current official documentation and the response observed by your own integration.
